A trial date has been set for a lawsuit involving the family of a Savona teen who claim his attacker hid his assets months before he went to trial.
In 2016, Kristopher Teichreib beat then 18-year-old Jessie Simpson into a coma when he became separated from a group of friends while out celebrating the end of the school year and wandered onto his property. He now requires 24-hour care.
Teichrieb plead guilty to aggravated assault and was sentenced to seven years in prison but with credit for time served it worked out to three years and eight months of prison time since he was released to a halfway house. A separate lawsuit awarded Simpson $6.9 million in damages against Teichrieb.
A trial date for the most recent lawsuit has been set for April 4 at 10 a.m. in the Supreme Court of B.C. in Kamloops.

Paperwork filed in the most recent civil suit said the year after Teichrieb was arrested, he was behind on his mortgage payments and had considerable debts. Teichrieb and his partner Mandy Windis then transferred the Clifford Avenue property, with a market value of $587,000 to his parents, Kornelius and Cheryle Teichrieb for $1.
The notice of claim states the transfer was done in an effort to delay and hinder the recovery of damages and make sure Simpson couldn’t get the house. The claim states the transfer was a “fraudulent conveyance.”
In response to the claim, Kornelius and Cheryle Teichrieb don’t deny that the transfer took place but said it was done to stop the foreclosure of the property and was not illegal.
The paperwork says after the transfer took place, Kornelius suffered a debilitating stroke and can no longer work and was forced to refinance. The court documents say there is little to no equity in the property.
Simpson is asking the court to declare the transfer of the Clifford Avenue property fraudulent, void and of no effect against them.
