Now I know why some people are upset with the Conservatives omnibus crime bill.
It'll keep politically correct unfortunates like this poor misquided soul locked up for years more, or at least till he successfully finishes treatment, \
Are you sure? How will the bill do that? This guy served his time, is there a provision in the bill that will force judges to give longer sentences? I thought it was just about minimum sentences, the the min sentence for sexual assault on a minor has been set at 1 year while it's 1 1/2 years for 6 plants. But if you know better, I'd be interested to hear it.
Unless you give a guy like this life without parole, he'll always be released. Since he's a serial rapist they coulda shoulda gone for habitual criminal status and locked him up indefinitely.
It has one clause for:
An increase in mandatory minimum penalties and sentences, including those for child exploitation.
So I'm assuming that this guy would have gotten at the minimum a longer sentence than he did, if the law was in place.
But you're right. When he failed to take rehabilitation seriously and continued to be a problem in jail he should have been designated a dangerous offender and kept in prison indefinately which likely have made the Citizens of Kelowna feel a little safer.
Nope - that mandatory minimum is 1 1/2 years. This guy got way more. The bill own't affect most serious offenders at all.
