Abuser may be locked up indefinitely
A Montreal man who brought an African child here and sexually abused her for three years may be locked up indefinitely. I didn’t even know that was possible in law.

Technically, he’s eligible for a parole review in 7 years. He’s got dangerous offender status.
It’s like all life imprisonments have a parole eligibility, but there is no guarantee a convict will get parole after 25 years or more.

To have had to review all the horrifying things Sylvain Villemaire had done to that child. He should be named as the despicable human being that he is. And he was a high school social for 27 years. Who else could he have abused and exploited?
I know I give the police a hard time with racial profiling but they did a good job at arresting this man and finding the girl. I wonder if social services will try to locate any family she may have in Africa. May she find a loving home with people who can give her the care she deserves and needs.

Kate, here’s a useful explanation of the designation that the Crown has asked be applied. The judge will take this into consideration when he decides on the sentence.
