Rapist tries to evade dangerous offender label

Michel Vautour, who snatched a teenager off an Outremont street in 2020 in an attempt to show people what a savage is, is trying to avoid being named a dangerous offender, a label that would likely see him jailed for life. The 2020 kidnapping was only the latest in a string of sexual attacks that had put him behind bars previously.

Three years ago, when the kidnapping was first reported, La Presse delved into Vautour’s sordid history and Global spoke with the unnamed victim about her experience.

The judge’s decision will be made in October.
