Psychological assessment ordered for Cochrane teen who choked girlfriend unconscious during sex

'(The victim) was unable to revoke her consent to the strangulation and sexual intercourse while being strangled as it was happening,' said the medical director of the Calgary Sexual Assault Response Team

Choking his girlfriend unconscious during consensual intercourse has helped land a Cochrane teen a sexual assault conviction.

The now 18-year-old, who can’t be identified because he was a youth at the time, pleaded guilty to sexual assault in connection with several incidents involving his girlfriend of more than a year.

And court heard Monday the most dangerous of those was an incident in which he convinced the victim to allow him to choke her to unconsciousness while they were having intercourse.
