Vernon man gets 3 years jail for sexual interference of person under 16
Ramsay Michael Collier was also ordered to register as a sex offender for 20 years and stay away from the victim.
- A B.C. Supreme Court judge sentenced Ramsay Michael Collier, 46, to three years in jail for sexually interfering with a person under 16, following his conviction on October 31, 2025, for an offense that occurred May 9, 2023, in Vernon.
- Justice Miriam Maisonville determined three years was the most fit period of incarceration, though she noted a four-year sentence would have been appropriate; the Crown had requested five years.
- The victim sustained bruises on upper legs and interior calves, providing an impact statement describing a "serious mental impact." Justice Maisonville noted the victim remains "deeply hurt" and fears public encounters.
- Collier must register under the Sex Offender Information Registration Act for 20 years and is barred from contacting anyone under 16 for 10 years, while maintaining a two-kilometre distance from the victim.
- Court records detail Collier's history, including adoption at 18 months and fetal alcohol spectrum disorder diagnosis. A pre-sentence report identified a moderate risk of future sexually motivated offenses.
