"In an affidavit filed in Court of Queen's Bench, Wayne Wilcox wrote that he knew Cardinal well as a sex trade worker who frequented the 118th Avenue area.
" was a crack addict and she came and did crack at my house all the time," Wilcox wrote. "During that time she used crack all the time, whenever she could get it. She constantly had stolen property and sold some of that to me."
Wilcox swore that Cardinal would look for customers she could rob, and said she came to him in the spring or summer of 2014 with a business proposition.
"She told me she had one guy who was a creep," Wilcox wrote, "and she wanted me to come with her to 'jack' the guy, and I refused."
During his trial last fall, Blanchard testified that Cardinal broke into his apartment with the intent to rob him.
The judge rejected his testimony and convicted Blanchard.
But Wilcox said he ran into Cardinal after the June 2014 attack.
"She told me that the police were called and the police told her about his sexual offending history, and she made up a story that she was the victim," Wilcox wrote.
"She told me that none of the things that she told the police actually happened."
