I hope we can make an exception for this person, as well as add a caveat to the law for situations like this. To me it doesn't seem to be the spirit of the law to deny someone citizenship over a 'crime' of this nature. Perhaps things that wouldn't be considered a crime in Canada shouldn't count against you for these purposes, or something along those lines.

Seems to me that they have a case for applying as a refugee.
