A Vernon man has avoided prison on sexual assault charges by entering into a peaceful relationship.
Eldon Robert Caldwell agreed Monday to abide by the peace agreement for one year, confirmed Dan McLaughlin, communications counsel for the British Columbia Prosecutor’s Office.
A peace bond is another term for a restraining order.
Caldwell was charged in the attack last June.
In August, RCMP arrested him a day after issuing a public appeal for information on his whereabouts.
Caldwell has a lengthy criminal record dating back more than a decade.
Charges include impersonation to evade arrest, escape from arrest, assault, obstructing a peace officer, possession of a weapon for a dangerous purpose, breaking and entering, uttering threats and violating conditions.
