Stony Mountain inmate, 80, dies
A Stony Mountain Institution inmate died of apparent natural causes while in custody Saturday, the Correctional Service of Canada said. Gordon Kornelson, 80, was sentenced to four years on May 5. The Carillon newspaper in Steinbach reported in April that he had pleaded guilty to sexually assaulting a relative for eight years starting when she was about four years old, between Jan. 1, 2012 and Jan. 31, 2020. The abuse ended when the COVID-19 pandemic prevented her visits to Kornelson's home, the Carillon reported. The girl's mother reported the crime in June 2022 after her daughter told her what had happened. Judge Kael McKenzie granted the victim's request that there be no publication ban in the case and called the sentence low. The defence, pointing to Kornelson's declining health, had asked for his sentence to be served under house arrest. Kornelson worked as a loans manager at Steinbach Credit Union for 29 years until 1995, court documents stated, and then worked as an accountant. He served on the board of the Steinbach Mennonite Central Committee Thrift Shop from 1974 to 2019. An online obituary stated Kornelson was formerly a longtime Hanover School Division trustee and that he died in a Winnipeg hospital. DAVE BAXTER / CARILLON FILES
