When we read section 9, it refers to every person convicted for an offence under Schedule 1. The three-strike rule is not even mentioned. Under section 9, if you have committed an offence listed in Schedule 1, you are not eligible for a record suspension.
For example, if you are a 30-year-old man looking at a woman who is taking her clothes off in her home and that her furious husband lodges a complaint against you for voyeurism, you will get a criminal record and you will be considered a sexual offender.
Mr. Minister, people who have committed offences listed in Schedule 1 will be included in the sexual offenders database. So everything is linked.
