Brent Gabona has been sentenced to 6.5 years in prison for sexually assaulting five group home residents who were in his care.
The crimes occurred more than two decades ago, during Gabona’s time of employment at Shepherd’s Villa, a group home for adults with intellectual disabilities in Hepburn, Sask., from 1992 to 2009.
He targeted people who were non-verbal because he knew they could not report the abuse.
