The former leader of the Canadian Nationalist Party has been found guilty of two counts of assault causing bodily harm.
A Regina jury found Travis Patron guilty Thursday evening. His trial began Monday at the Delta Hotel, with Patron representing himself.
A sentencing hearing is to be held July 20.
Patron ran for the Canadian Nationalist Party — which has been criticized for its far-right stance and an ideology perceived by some as hateful and racist — in the 2019 federal election in the Souris-Moose Mountain riding. He finished last with 168 votes.
According to Regina police, the Redvers man was arrested in connection with an incident that happened Nov. 2, 2019 in Regina.
Police said officers were called to Victoria Avenue near Broad Street at about 2:30 that morning for a report about two women who had been assaulted. The women were visibly hurt and were taken to hospital for treatment, police said.
According to the police investigation, the women had been talking to a man earlier in the evening, and he assaulted them when they declined his offer of a ride home.
Patron was arrested and charged a week later.
