New Westminster man sentenced to three years for sexual assaults linked to recovery services work

A New Westminster man has been handed a three-year prison sentence for sexually assaulting women while employed by a substance-use recovery organization.

According to New Westminster Police, 42-year-old Adam Haber was sentenced on November 7 after being found guilty earlier this year on two counts of sexual assault. The investigation began in 2023 following multiple complaints, and police say 11 women eventually came forward to provide statements.

Haber had initially faced three counts of sexual assault, but was convicted on two. Along with his prison term, he has been ordered to comply with a 20-year listing on the National Sex Offender Registry and is subject to a weapons prohibition.

Police have not released additional details about the case, citing privacy and court restrictions. The offences occurred while Haber was working in a role providing recovery support to individuals dealing with substance-use challenges.
