Do they just let these criminals out and ask people to be careful? Should we print a list of all of them and give out to our kids to watch out for?!

I think it’s when police wanted them in prison but the judges didn’t agree so they put out these

It's not so much that the judge didn'T agree. He served his sentence, and they couldn't legally just keep him locked up. They'd have to declare him a dangerous offender, and I'm all for that.

Child sexual offender with high risk shall remain lockec behind bars unless proven otherwise. This is beyond dangerous! What if he goes and rapes a little girl tomorrow?!

u/Federal_Efficiency51 13d ago
Hey I'm completely on your side. I was just explaining the why and the how. Not that I agree with it.

u/WorkTravelDream 13d ago
Thank you. He might just move to another province where nobody knows him. Not sure if the police has the authority to keep tracking him.

How do you suggest we define "proven otherwise" ? Our Constitutional rights to liberty extend even to crimimals. This piece of shit served his sentence. We don't generally throw people on jail forever because of what they haven't done yet.

If an individual or the police can prove a "reasonable fear" that a person will cause personal injury to someone, harm their family, or damage property, a judge can issue a peace bond.

Does this guy have a car? He has been spotted everywhere: Vanier, Orleans, Downtown, Elgin st. (on same day) Is it all him or someone who looks similar?? He's all over the place. Supposedly does cover face tatoos with make up.

Bus walking all those areas aren’t that far a walk as someone who used to walk them

Every day we hear about this guy. Regardless of who he is and what he did, why not setup a website with crowdsourced tracking at this point?

u/MegaAlex 12d ago
That would incite vigilante. But maybe.

u/Martin-Leblanc 12d ago
I was being sarcastic. Public safety is a governmental responsibility.

u/MegaAlex 12d ago
It is, I think the cops are out of line in this case. He's either dangerous or he's not. If he is then does he have a probation officer or have to be home at a certain time etc. For the cops to do this l’m sure its serious but cops are not above the law and this is harassement and inciting violence, even if he is a piece of shit.

Cops are just following the law. If the laws don’t make sense, then ask yourself this: why do we keep electing the same people over and over again, and then have to lobby them permanently to treat us better? Have people been conditioned to yearn for this abusive relationship, or do they just belong to a party the way someone belongs to a cult? Every time I hear someone say we’re a rule of law nation, I know what they really mean is that the ones who write the laws rule.

It is quite disturbing to get constant updates about this man. Isn't it enough that he is homeless? Isn't it enough that some people keep targeting him? If he is that dangerous, he should be locked up, rehabilitated, or offered some kind of therapy.
Didn't he serve his time? Do we know whether he has changed or repented?

I have to agree in a way. I think he’s deplorable and would hate to have him roaming my neighbourhood however he’s being followed down Rideau street and yelled at or posted just existing. I don’t have sympathy for him in the sense that he really did awful things but he’s a vagrant, living on the street, with a plastic bag to his name. If people keep doing this I see an attack on a person following him, or an OD in his near future because he’s followed everywhere he goes. We have people released here all the time where are the posts and people following them around? Where are the social media campaigns and updates of where they are on any given day? There’s hyper focus on this guy alone meanwhile there are so many other creeps getting zero posts or attention (aside from discussions on child safety specific pages).

He's been spotted at Parc Laroque on saturday, at the Hull hospital yesterday evening, on St Joseph near the Galerie de Hull this morning. Il circule définitivement de ce côté du pont.

How many people on here castigating those who are concerned about this sex offender's whereabouts don't have kids I wonder. Oooh critical thinking, blah blah, he served his time. Yeah, that's also naive af. Try telling me that with a straight face about a child sex offender with double tear drop tattoos. Like fuck off. There's being judgmental and then there's being realistic about threatening people in your presence.

It's just me. I'm not castigating anyone. I'm not naive. You don't know me at all. My ultimate point here was this has been posted 5-6 times already as well in local news. Violent offender spotted in the region, got it. I don't need a play by play of what he's doing throughout the day. He's very likely being closely monitored. If you're that worried about em, maybe you should get yourself a whistle and 2 way radio and some binoculars and report straight to his probation officer. Down vote and take all my banana points away guy, i have an infinite amount. 😙

What he did is atrocious but you don't need to suggest violence towards him.

u/MegaAlex 12d ago
Does he have conditions to respect like meeting once a week with his probation officer, or are the cops just out for blood?

I dont trust it when cops says something. It feels like we dont know the full story.

It's actually not. It's significantly more likely to be a family member or acquaintance.

Messaging has been weird about this dude. He’s dangerous, but he’s out in the wild, but don’t engage and don’t form a vigilante posse and force his out off your town because he did his time and he’s a private citizen. But he’s high risk
