WINNIPEG – A Winnipeg youth has been sentenced to 17 years in jail for random, brutal attacks on a 16-year-old girl and a 23-year-old woman.

Robert McKay was 17 at the time but has been sentenced as an adult after pleading guilty to aggravated sexual assault last year.

With credit for time served, McKay will be behind bars for just under 13 years while his cousin, Justin Hudson, serves a sentence of 23 years.

Their younger victim was beaten and robbed, and McKay held her down while Hudson sexually assaulted her.

She ended up in the freezing cold of the Assiniboine River, crawled out 100 metres downstream and was attacked again with a hammer.

She was technically dead for 45 minutes before being revived in hospital.

The teen is now an advocate for a national inquiry into missing and murdered indigenous women.

A few hours after the first attack, the pair came across a 23-year-old woman who they severely beat and repeatedly sexually assaulted.
