Romeo Cormier, sentenced in 2011, out on automatic statutory release, must follow special conditions

A Moncton man who kidnapped a woman at knifepoint and held her captive for nearly a month while he sexually assaulted her has been released from prison.

Romeo Cormier was sentenced in August 2011 to 16 years, seven months and five days in prison, after a jury found him guilty of kidnapping, sexual assault, forcible confinement, robbery with violence, assault with a weapon and uttering threats to cause injury or death.

He served two-thirds of his sentence and reached his automatic statutory release date, according to a Quebec Parole Board of Canada decision obtained by CBC News. Offenders must be released into the community under supervision at that point and follow certain conditions.

Cormier, 74, is living at a halfway house. The location has not been disclosed...

Risk of sexual recidivism 'low'

The statistical information on recidivism (SIR) rating scale indicates that two out of three offenders with comparable characteristics to Cormier will not reoffend within three years of release.

His risk of sexual recidivism is considered "low," largely due to his age.

Cormier has had two previous "successful" statutory releases following federal sentences, the board notes.

So... Kidnapping a woman at knifepoint and holding her captive for nearly a month while he sexually assaulted her, is considered as 'successful'???

They should force these parole board members to live beside this creep.

“jury found him guilty of kidnapping, sexual assault, forcible confinement, robbery with violence”

Seems like castration ought to be a requirement for his early release.

I forgot to add this interesting insight from the article...

“Psychological reports have described Cormier as a “spiteful person, who takes pleasure in killing animals and beating people until they lose consciousness.”

It hasn't happened. Yet.

I have confidence in him to bring it about.

But at whose expense?

So much for women’s rights. If he had called her by the wrong pronoun, he would still be serving time.

You forgot to factor in the two-thirds sentence served part.

At the least, it should’ve been 16 years per assault. Even if he had only assaulted her every other day, he wouldn’t have been paroled for about 139 years, even with the two-thirds served sentence idiocy.

He’ll be back on the wanted list very quickly...

Unless the original victim’s family has been planning a getting-released SSS reception for him...

“Cormier has had two previous “successful” statutory releases following federal sentences, the board notes.”

So the first two convictions were followed by Cormier committing kidnapping/captivity/rape/robbery/violent assault/and God knows what else, yet these were considered “successful releases”. What must an “unsuccessful release” be like?

The statistical information on recidivism (SIR) rating scale indicates that two out of three offenders with comparable characteristics to Cormier will not reoffend within three years of release.

So that means that there is a 100% chance that one out of every three sexual offenders will commit a sex crime within three years. For every three you release you are guaranteeing that some citizen will be sexually assaulted.

That's insane. Why not just keep them all locked up and then there is a 0% chance that any of them will re- offend

Didn’t a guy who had a sexual deviancy record just get released not too long ago, and went on to murder a woman? I think he was in his 80’s. Age is no predictor of behavior with these guys.
