A former capital-region resident who admitted earlier this year to sexually abusing a minor for years in Oromocto sought to delay his sentencing hearing Friday because he has a new lawyer.

Andrew J.R. Quann, 39, formerly of Oromocto and Nasonworth but more who’s more recently lived in Nova Scotia, was supposed to go through a sentencing hearing Friday for indictable offences he committed in Oromocto between Jan. 1, 2014, and Dec. 31, 2019.

He previously admitted to touching a minor for a sexual purpose.
