A 42-year-old North
Vancouver woman
recently received a
four-month condition-
al jail sentence for
misleading a police
officer.

Elizabeth Jean Olson was
charged with misleading the
olficer on Feb, 13, 1996 by
falsely reporting that she had
been assaulted by Raymond
David McKay.

Back in November 1995,
McKay, an ex-con, was jailed
for 11 months for. threaren-
ing Olson and her husband
and breaching probation,

McKay, now 28, pleaded
guilty to the charges, bur
maintained he had had an
affair with Olson.

Olson denied the claim
with amusement to a News
reporter after MeKay’s sen-
tencing.

According to the North
Vancouver RCMP, Olson
recanted her story about
MeKay and admitted to hav-
ing an affair in the spring of
1996.

Initially, Olson and her
husband, Les Olson, met
McKay after wanting to help
a person in an Alcoholics
Anonymous program.

Olson's husband, Les
Olson, said his family decid-
ed to help McKay as a good-
will gesture.

In a December 1995
News story, Les Olson was
outraged that McKay could
use a prison phone to call his
home in an apparent breach
of a judge’s no-conract
order,

McKay was subsequently
charged with seven new
criminal offences including
harassing Elizabeth Olson
and Les Olson.

After Elizabeth Olson
herself was charged, the new
charges against McKay were
dropped by the North
Vancouver Crown office.

In sentencing Elizabeth
Olson on April 21, North

Vancouver provincial court

Judge Ellen Burdett
required Olson to write
