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.

A 23-year-old violent offender who was convicted in 2018 of sexually assaulting a woman and cutting her throat, is facing new charges. The accused, who can’t be named because he was only 17 when he assaulted his victim, was back in Lethbridge court this week for allegedly breaching a conditional supervision order, which was granted last June when he was moved from custody into the community so he could participate in a treatment program. When the man’s status was set to be reviewed the following November, however, court was told the accused had walked away from the residential treatment facility and couldn’t be found.
