Father of Dundee-born crash victim Charlene Reaveley slams ‘wishy-washy’ sentence in Canada

Father of Dundee-born crash victim Charlene Reaveley slams ‘wishy-washy’ sentence in Canada

The father of a Dundee-born Good Samaritan killed in a horrific hit-and-run smash in Canada has criticised the sentence handed down to her killer.

Cory Sater was sentenced to seven-and-a-half years for the killing of mother-of-four Charlene Reaveley, 30, and another woman, Lorraine Cruz, 26.

Sater had downed six double rye whisky and colas and two Jaegerbomb shots at a bar before getting behind the wheel and smashing into Charlene, 30, who was helping Ms Cruz after an earlier accident.

Her father, Colin Ogilvie, told The Courier that the seven-and-a-half-year sentence was not long enough.

“I am not surprised that we have another wishy-washy judge with no self-direction.

“I only know that seven-and-a-half years are not enough of a deterrent to send a message to those who do not care about our loved ones.

“The sentence, no matter how weak or significant, makes no difference in my life.

“However, it only goes to show that the criminals get the breaks when they put on a show with their families.

“Not an ounce of remorse had been shown until now,” he added.

Sater was convicted in January of impaired and dangerous driving, causing death in a late night crash in Coquitlam, near Vancouver.

Before entering court to receive his sentence he said: “Do not demonise me. I feel terrible.”

Some reports also suggested he carried a Bible into the court and that he wept when the sentence was handed down.

Ms Cruz had been driving with her boyfriend in a Nissan Pathfinder just before 12.30am on February 19 2011, when the vehicle crashed in Coquitlam, British Columbia.

The two got out of the car, while Charlene, her husband Dan and two friends stopped to help.

As the group stood outside the Nissan, Sater’s white Jeep Cherokee ran down both women.

Ms Cruz’s boyfriend, Paulo Calimbahin, also lost a leg in the crash.

Born Charlene Ogilvie, Reaveley’s family left their home in Fintry when she was a child for a new life in Canada. She was a fitness instructor in Coquitlam.

Sater was sentenced to nine-and-a-half years, but this is understood to have been reduced by two years largely because he had abided by his bail conditions since the crash.

He was also banned from driving for eight years.
