William Parsons, who's been serving a three year sentence for sexually abusing girls at his late wife's home daycare in Dollard-des-Ormeaux, will be released from prison next week but will have to abide by special conditions because he's vowed vengeance on children.
Parsons, 76, was sentenced in November 2012 for sexual interference and invitation to sexual touching.
He appealed the sentence but lost in November 2014.
Parsons was denied day and full parole in October 2015.
Parsons has now served two thirds of his sentence and is eligible for statutory release. He should be released sometime between November 22 and 24.
In a ruling this month, the Parole Board of Canada expressed concern that Parson's risk of reoffending in a violent way has increased and said that it had to impose special restrictions despite his poor health and mobility issues.
The board points out that Parsons told caseworkers last spring he "would have his vengeance one day" and "implied that it would be against any child whatsoever." The board said Parsons repeated the statements "several times in a state of definite rage."
The board noted that Parsons is still very angry with his victims and children in general and the anger has increased over the years, with Parsons showing no progress in rehab. HIs family has said in documents to the board that "the language barrier had an impact on the programming offered."
Parsons has to wear an electronic tracking bracelet and stay at a halfway house for six months. Parsons must stay away from his victims and a specific bike path and certain streets where his victims could be. He also can't be around children unless accompanied by a responsible adult who knows his criminal history and has been approved by the parole supervisor. Parsons can't be at places where children could be found, such as parks, school playgrounds and community centres.
