TRIGGER WARNING: Extremely disturbing content
A Canadian man who was convicted of the horrific rape of a 3-month-old infant boy has begun identifying as transgender while incarcerated and is currently being held in a women’s correctional facility with a mother and child unit.
In 1997, Adam Laboucan sexually assaulted a three-month-old baby boy in Quesnel, British Columbia. Laboucan was 15-years-old at the time and had been hired to babysit the child. The infant was so brutally injured by the attack that he had to be flown to Vancouver, 410 miles away, to undergo reconstructive surgery.
After committing the horrific assault, Laboucan “mutilated himself and ate his own flesh,” according to news reports.
During the trial, an expert witness stated that Laboucan displayed “everything from transsexual to pedophilic tendencies.” A forensic psychiatrist who examined Laboucan testified that even he believed himself to be a danger to the public. “He said he was not planning a life of crime, but he felt he had no way to control the flood of violent, murderous fantasies,” Dr. Ian Postnikoff told the B.C. Supreme Court.
Due to the horrific nature of the crime, Laboucan was handed a rare indeterminate prison sentence in 1999 at the age of 17, and was declared the nation’s youngest criminally violent sex offender.
Although it is unclear exactly when Laboucan was transferred to the women’s correctional facility, in April of 2018 The Toronto Star reported on another rejected parole appeal while referring to him with feminine pronouns, stating that the child rapist “now identifies as female.”
One inmate confirmed that Laboucan was being housed in a unit next to the Mother-Child Program residence, and said that he had been “staring” at the children to “antagonize” the women.
Can someone please explain how this is equality? What is it equal to?
The twisted logic is that ‘women’ are very poorly represented in the sexual perpetrator stats thus ‘as a woman’ he will be much less likely to commit sexual offences.
‘Equality’ is ‘equal access to women’s spaces’.
This whole concept is tying the ‘logic’ up into Gordian knots .
If it wasn’t so dangerous it would be funny.
Canada is ahead of Aus in this insanity but QLD, Victoria and Tasmania are running to catch up.
