A former fitness trainer at addiction recovery facilities in New Westminster has been sentenced to three years in prison for sexual assaults against multiple women under his care.
Investigation Launched After Brave Survivor Comes Forward
New Westminster Police began investigating Adam Haber in January 2023 when a woman who had been at two different recovery homes came forward with historical sexual assault allegations. The investigation revealed a pattern of abuse that spanned multiple victims at both the Last Door Recovery Treatment Centre and Westminster House, where Haber had worked as a fitness trainer.
Sergeant Andrew Leaver of the New Westminster Police Department expressed admiration for the courage shown by the initial complainant. "We're inspired by the bravery of the women who came forward to speak to investigators about what happened to them," Leaver stated. "Thank you for trusting us."
Multiple Victims Emerge During Investigation
Following the initial report, eleven additional women came forward with similar allegations against Haber. The substantial number of complainants demonstrated the scope of the abuse that had occurred within the recovery home environment.
By May 2023, authorities had gathered enough evidence to charge Haber with three counts of sexual assault. As the case progressed through the legal system, the charges were consolidated to two counts of sexual assault by the time the matter reached trial.
Justice Served After Lengthy Legal Process
The judicial process concluded with Haber being found guilty in February 2025 after a thorough examination of the evidence. On November 7, 2025, the court delivered its sentence, handing down a three-year prison term for the convicted sexual offender.
In addition to the prison sentence, the court imposed significant long-term consequences for Haber's actions. He has been added to the National Sex Offender Registry and will remain on the registry for the next twenty years, ensuring ongoing monitoring and public protection.
The case highlights the importance of survivors coming forward and the commitment of law enforcement to thoroughly investigate historical sexual assaults, even when they occur in environments meant for healing and recovery.
