A Port Coquitlam city employee will be sentenced in March for a sexual assault that happened 26 years ago.

Today (Wednesday), a PoCo provincial court judge scheduled David Murray to be sentenced on March 21 for the crime.

Murray, who continues to be employed but is set to retire at the end of this month after 17 years with the municipality, was convicted last fall following a trial.

He was found guilty of the sexual assault that happened in 1992 against a 14-year-old teen who worked for Murray at the time; a second charge of sexual interference was stayed by Crown Counsel before the trial began.

Murray, who also volunteered with Tri-City and Ridge-Meadows sporting groups, officially resigned from his Pitt Meadows city council post on Jan. 2.
