Violent offender facing more time in custody

A 23-year-old violent offender who walked away from a residential treatment centre last summer, hopes a judge won’t make him serve several more months in custody.
The offender, who can’t be named because he was only 17 when he sexually assaulted a woman and cut her throat, is facing several more months of custody to make up for the time he was AWOL after he walked away from the Stan Daniels Healing Centre, a 72-bed community residential healing lodge for conditionally released and federally sentenced Indigenous inmates.
The man was convicted in 2018 and sentenced in December of that year to a three-year Intensive Rehabilitative Custodial Supervision order (IRCS) and two years probation on charges of sexual assault, break and enter to commit sexual assault, threats to cause death and unlawful confinement.
