Why is this guy out?

This POS is about to be released into the public. Lock up your women and little girls Saskatchewan. He's a coming and there is a 100% chance he will attack again.

Norbert Leslie Dumais has a lengthy history of sexually assaulting young teenaged girls and the RCMP say the soon-to-be released man is a high risk to re-offend and is headed to Saskatchewan.

[...]

In 2000, Dumais was sentenced to ten years after being convicted of paying two 16-year-old girls to hold down an 11-year-old girl while he sexually assaulted her.

[...]

At the time of this crime, Dumais was still on parole after his statutory release from the penitentiary in Prince Albert after having reached the two-thirds point of a sentence for a prior sexual assault.

[...]

In addition to sexually assaulting teenage girls, Dumais has a history of violence against "people he perceives that he has a grievance" as well as those he comes into contact with during the commission of other crimes, such as robberies. He has used weapons (mostly knives) during these types of offenses.

I don't really understand why we would have to change the system...isn't this a classic case of what the dangerous offenders provision is all about?

He was convicted before the dangerous offenders act was proclaimed. As someone who has female children it does concern me that individuals like him are allowed to move into communities where he will have access to many innocents of his choice. There is no way that they can monitor him 24/7. Some poor family is going to have to deal with either a dead or a severely traumatized child. Who is going to take responsibility for this? No one, not one person (minister of justice, justice critic, bureaucrat, judge, criminal rights advocate, etc) will fall on their own sword for that family and admit guilt. All of these people failed that little girl 10 years ago and they will fail the next victim.

Is Single Malt Whiskey (sic) Chester Drawers? That's what his profile says. If so, why?

Yep it does, at least he is honest enough to note his sock puppet! ;)

Yes one and the same. Couldn't remember my password at my remote office. Should have said so.

Perhaps if more halfway houses and such were located in the kinds of neighbourhoods where judges and parole board officials lived, there would be less of this kind of thing.

Absolutely freaking disgusting how our justice system will not protect women and girls from violent offenders! Makes my blood boil!

There is so much, I could say about this, but I can't.

One thing I will say is that there have been successful attempts to keep him in jail longer than what his original sentencing was for. As chester points out he was convicted before the dangerous offenders act and thus cannot be held under it. IMV, Chester is also correct in saying that someone may die as a result of his release, or that another little girl may be abused, or indeed both, before he gets put away forever as a dangerous offender.

Unfortunately, the justice system can only work within the laws that it is given. That being said, hopefully one day we'll decide to get serious about man-on-women crime.

I have a little niece (well, not so little ~15), whose house was broken into. The guy went through her room, stole her underwear, photos and a couple dresses, then 'pleasured' himself on her bed (they have the dna evidence). There has apparently been a number of these occurrences in her neighbourhood. The police have a suspect in mind - a convicted pedophile, who was released into the neighbourhood shortly before these occurrences started - but according to the cops, they can't do anything (including even questioning him) until they have more evidence.

Makes my BP go through the roof just thinking about it.

Oh how creepy, hope she is getting counselling!

But you also said:

If they have DNA evidence, that pretty much wraps it up.

Perhaps it will take awhile to get a match compare, is what I thought?

no - apparently this guy wasn't 'dangerous' enough to get his dna put into the national databank (or he was convicted before the databank came into effect - the police officer my brother-in-law spoke to wasn't offering many details). At any rate, they don't have his dna to compare the 'sample' against. And I doubt he's about to walk into the station and offer one up.

And yes - very creepy. She (and the entire family) is getting conselling. It's hard to impress how dangerous this situation is on a 15 year old though - she just wants her life to return to 'normal'. thanks for asking remind
