Canada News: Parole Granted to Convicted 'Rapist,' Sparking Concern Among Victims' Families

In 1994, he was declared a dangerous offender and sentenced to indefinite imprisonment.

In a shocking development, the Canadian government has granted parole to 68-year-old Gary Jagur Singh, a man convicted of raping 11 women between January 1988 and August 1991. Singh, infamously known as the 'Marpole Rapist,' had terrorized women in the Marpole township of Vancouver, British Columbia. 

In 1994, he was declared a dangerous offender and sentenced to indefinite imprisonment.

Singh's parole has raised alarm among the victims' families and the local community, who fear for their safety. Singh was convicted of 11 counts of armed rape, 8 counts of willful vandalism, and 3 counts of robbery. His attacks primarily targeted women in their homes, often threatening them at knifepoint while they slept.

The parole board has imposed strict conditions on Singh's release, including a prohibition on alcohol and any contact with his victims or their families. However, some community members and victims' advocates have criticized the lack of transparency in the parole process. 

Conservative MLA Eleanor Sterko expressed concern, stating that parole should have been more carefully evaluated in cases of this nature.
