One of the candidates running for city council in the upcoming municipal election has found himself facing some daunting allegations.

Local business owner Ricardo Morin, is the subject of an email scandal.

It is alleged that Morin sent an email bashing a local donor to the Safe Places initiative.

In an excerpt from the email, Morin is said to have inferred that Sheldon Kennedy has to accept some responsibility in incidents involving Graham James, as Morin says he wasn't a kid, and participated in the acts.

Morin has told local media he would gladly address the matter face-to-face with his accuser in front of representatives of the media.  To this point the accuser wishes to remain anonymous.  

Morin has received legal advice not to comment further on the matter at this time.
