A Saskatchewan father who kept his daughter from her mother to prevent the girl from getting a COVID-19 vaccination was sentenced to one year in jail but given credit for time served.
Michael Gordon Jackson was on trial for violating a custody court order he had with his ex-wife, his daughter’s mother. Jackson was charged after he kept his then-7-year-old daughter from the mother for nearly three months, following a visitation in November 2021. The girl had lived primarily with her mother.
