Public safety over Gladue: B.C. dangerous offender denied parole after 25 years behind bars
The Parole Board of Canada has once again refused to release Canada’s youngest dangerous offender from jail, now a quarter of a century after the Quesnel-born two-spirit person was convicted of sexually assaulting an infant.
Since then, Desousa has requested full or partial parole on numerous occasions. This year, the 40-year-old asked to be released into the Lower Mainland, with plans to try and get a job in construction. All of these are factors known as Gladue principles that members of the justice system are asked to consider when making decisions on Indigenous offenders.
