Matthew Arlen Porcher , now 23 , found guilty of sexual assault and sexual touching.

Porcher worked for the Ministry of Children and Family Development from 2021 to 2022.

He was a resident support worker for IDM Youth Services , a company that operates homes for troubled youth.

The Crown did not have to prove a lack of consent, only that the touching happened.

He admitted giving massages, sending the boy text messages and meeting him at a park.

The judge ruled that Porcher 's explanations of his multiple breaches of the company’s rules “were inconsistent and implausible” The judge decided Porcher “is a practised liar and manipulator” and that he was motivated by sexual interest.

By contrast, the youth's testimony was largely consistent and found no evidence he had a motive to lie.
