REGINA – The victim of a sexual assault by convicted pedophile Peter Whitmore is getting ready to share his story of survival.
In 2006, Zachary Miller was abducted and sexually assaulted in an abandoned house near Kipling, Sask. along with a 14-year-old Manitoba boy. Miller was 10-years-old at the time.
Until now, a publication ban prevented media from naming Miller.
The ban was lifted by a Court of Queen’s Bench Justice after a successful application by Miller himself.
Miller told the court he wants others to know he is a survivor and he wants to be able to use his name.
The other victim’s identity is still protected by the publication ban.
Whitmore pleaded guilty and was sentenced to life in prison in 2007.
Miller’s kidnapping led to what’s believed to be the first Amber Alert in Saskatchewan.
