A former Port Coquitlam municipal parks worker who was convicted of sexual assault is out on bail and is appealing his conviction.
Lawyer Matthew Nathanson wouldn't comment on the appeal but confirmed he will be representing David Murray. No date has been set for Murray's appeal, Nathanson said.
In March Port Coquitlam Provincial Court Judge Deirdre Pothecary sentenced Murray, a former Pitt Meadows councillor, to nine months in jail.
But last Friday, Murray was released following a bail hearing in the B.C. Court of Appeal.
He was ordered released with conditions and is appealing both his conviction and sentence, according to Dan McLaughlin, communications counsel for the BC Prosecution Service.
Murray had been found guilty of sexual assault that happened in 1992 against a 14-year-old girl who worked for him at the time.
