Women and girls have no value in the eyes of the Canadian judicial system.
This is my lived experience too, when it comes to pedophiles/rapists. And, includes “in the eyes” of the propagandized religious (notably catholic), police, corrections, politicians, regulators, hospitals, judges, lawyers (some of whom enable and assist rapists and also rape children), the self-regulator of lawyers that licences known convicted pedophiles intentionally giving them protected access to children, etc. etc. etc.

From 2002: “at least forty” other women. Who knows what that number is by now
Criminal justice reform is one of those issues we’re never gonna make real progress on, because there are a lot of crimes we shouldn’t be handing out prison sentences at all for, and there’s some where we should be way, way harsher in our sentencing, and no one will run on that.I believe many politicians and religious leaders/cults get financial support (and crimes) to help them get put into power and stay there, from rich and powerful pedophiles that want to keep raping – freely – without consequence, along with a nice supply of easily accessible kids to rape. If our species did not start out demented when it comes to raping kids, the powerful in politics and religion ensure(d) it.
In my view, it’s not so much any “system” that helps men rape and murder kids and women, it’s the human species that’s the main reason nothing improves to protect women and children and the global environment from rape. It’s my observation and experience that many humans are selfish and unless it affects them, for the most part don’t care who gets raped and or frac’d, and don’t want anything done to rock “their” happy safe prosperous boat – if pedophiles have plenty of other kids to rape, it keeps them away from “their” families. Who cares if humans are enabling the coal, oil, gas and bitumen industry to destroy earth’s ability to sustain human life, and that of other species, as long as my children and I have a yard and home and car and lots of stuff we don’t need and jobs and lots of fancy over seas holidays? Who cares if judges let rapists go free, as long as MY children and wife are not raped (and those judges let ME keep raping them and others and the environment).” Which makes zero sense to me, but the human species has never made sense to me.
Why are you surprised? New to Canada?
Whats the point when justice system and supremr court largely ignore the will of the people and act as their own “old boys fraternity”when overruling psrliamentary decision making and inherently ignoring the will of the publuc because they have a we know whats best for u attitude
How is this man not labelled a dangerous offender?Misogyny is rampant in Canada. I believe our police, lawyers, judges, religions protect rapists because they keep hated women and girls frequently abused, subservient and silent, as misogynistic religions demand. Ultra disgusting.
Seems like he made a deal with prosecutors to escape that, despite having dozens of convictions by that point
The trouble with Christopher Watts, Convicted in death of Kitchener teen, career criminal has been difficult for correctional system to handle by Laura Booth and Greg Mercer, June 14, 2019, Waterloo Region Record
KITCHENER — Christopher Watts, the man responsible for the death of a Kitchener teen in 2001, is trying to use the courts to force Canada’s correctional system to transfer him to British Columbia.
Watts was sentenced in 2003 to 17 years in prison for manslaughter, sexual assault and sexual interference in the death of 13-year-old Amanda Raymond after a drug-fuelled party at his home at Somme Island on Puslinch Lake.
Amanda’s death remains the most notorious conviction in Watts’ troubling life of crime. He’s been called a deviant sexual predator without any remorse by both judges and the Parole Board of Canada. A psychiatric report declared him a “psychopath” with a history of sexual assault, stalking, carrying handguns, using aliases, making threats and evading arrest.
Now, Watts, 59, is taking the correctional service to court in a bid to be closer to his family on the West Coast — something that angers the mother of the teenager he killed.
Teresa Trupp, Amanda’s mother, said Watts should not be allowed to demand a transfer through the courts. The Kitchener woman argues his behaviour proves he should have long ago been declared a dangerous offender, a designation that would have locked him up for life.
When he was arrested in her daughter’s death, Watts already had 27 criminal convictions to his name. An attempt to have him declared a dangerous offender was dropped in 2003 when the Crown attorney struck a deal with defence lawyer Tony Bryant.
“I have no words anymore for this animal,” Trupp said. “He’s completely forgotten about what he did to my daughter. It’s devastating. For him to be even allowed to apply for this is just blasphemy.”Much worse criminals in my view, are the lawyers and officials enabling Watts.
Watts’ legal fight with the correctional system offers a revealing look at just how difficult he has been for the correctional system to handle. Since being released on a 10-year long-term supervision order, he has been chronically unable to follow the restrictions of his release.
Every time he is accused of violating his conditions — which include staying away from children, having no unsupervised access to the internet and not viewing pornography — he’s thrown back in prison.
The parole board’s internal documents describe him as unrepentant and unwilling to be rehabilitated.
Watts’ criminal career is long and started in his early teens. At 13, he was already living in a home for juvenile delinquents. His father was in and out of jail and his mother was an alcoholic. By 16, he was in a youth detention centre for a string of thefts and break-ins.
For five years in the 1980s, he used the alias Clifford Snider — a dead child whose name and date of birth he stole from a gravestone — and used the new identity to get a birth certificate and, later, a driver’s licence.
In another case, Waterloo Regional Police found a $70,000 stolen Ferrari in the garage of Watts’ Victoria Street North home in Kitchener when they came looking for stolen handguns.
Watts once tried to break out of a holding cell at an Oakville police station by crawling through the ventilation system. Another time, he slipped away from guards at the Hamilton General Hospital while having an X-ray, and went on the run for two months.
His three federal offences include a 1989 conviction of forcible confinement for hog-tying and gagging a 16-year-old girl. In 2012, he published “The Criminal’s Handbook” under the pen name C.W. Michael, railing against police and the justice system.
Watts is currently serving 90 days What a rape-enabling horror joke. Meanwhile, frac’ers that rape drinking water supplies for communities, like Encana-Ovintiv, don’t get charged at all, with officials never serving time for their endless crimes at the Central Nova Scotia Correctional Facility in Halifax for yet another breach of the conditions of his supervision. He did not reply to interview requests for this story.
When he was sentenced in Amanda’s death, the judge labelled him a long-term offender, ordering that he remain under the supervision of the Correctional Service of Canada on a community supervision order for 10 years following the end of his prison term.
“It’s a very serious designation. Getting that designation, it’s for a reason,” explained John Muise, a retired detective sergeant with the Toronto Police Service who also served on the Parole Board of Canada for five years. “It’s an order imposed when a judge is concerned about the ongoing risk to public safety.”
After serving his sentence for Amanda’s death, Watts was released from a B.C. prison in 2015 and began his long-term supervision order with restrictive conditions, including that he live in a halfway house approved by the Correctional Service of Canada.
In a two-year span while placed in halfway houses in B.C., he was thrown back into prison half a dozen times on allegations of breaching the conditions of his order. The final suspension came in 2017, after threats he reportedly made to staff at a halfway house run by the correctional service in Chilliwack — an allegation that caused officials to look across the country for a halfway house that would accept him.
Watts was ultimately sent to a halfway house run by the correctional service in the Halifax area in August 2017, prompting Halifax Regional Police to issue a public advisory about his arrival.
“He has exhibited a pattern of providing large quantities of drugs to young girls and engaging in sexual activity with them without regard for their ability to consent,” the advisory said.
Internal correctional service documents suggest Watts was transferred to the East Coast because few other halfway houses in the country would take the high-risk offender. Before being transferred to Nova Scotia, he was staying in the only community correctional centre — a halfway house run by the correctional service — in the Pacific region.
Community correctional centres are designed for the most difficult kind of offenders and include 24-hour supervision.
There are also privately run halfway houses that work with the correctional service, but correctional service documents suggest none in the Pacific region could take him. No facility in Ontario would take him because of previous threats he made against law enforcement — and Quebec would not take him because of its proximity to Ontario.
Watts does not want to be on the East Coast and has filed grievances with the correctional service over his transfer. His latest attempt to get back to B.C. started earlier this year. He filed an application in Federal Court asking a judge review the correctional service’s decision to keep him in Nova Scotia.
The Correctional Service of Canada said it would not speak about Watts’ case for privacy reasons.Typical Caveman Raping Canada, protect the rights of the pedophile, while not protecting the endless kids raped, many of them killed/murdered while being raped. In my experiences of being raped (often), including as a child, the problem is that the patriarchy, notably the heinous religions and churches and rich and powerful that lead it, believes deep down that men and boys ought to be allowed to be boys – allowed to rape, whomever, no matter what age – including babies, whenever, however, including murder/torture.
In documents submitted to the court, Watts said he was originally transferred from an Ontario prison to B.C. in 2013, to be closer to his daughter.
The parole board warns he remains “preoccupied with sex.” In one case, he was caught secretly recording his female parole officer. In another, he was busted with an ad for an escort service and brought a woman from a Vancouver shelter back to his halfway house.
Trupp, Amanda’s mother, said the Kitchener family is still struggling with her death and has been forever scarred by Watts’ crime.
“The man took a child away from a family. It’s hard not to become a victim of his,” she said. “Your life is never the same … You’re a walking zombie. It’s like you’re existing because you have to exist. That’s how devastating the loss of a child can be to a parent.”
Trupp said Watts has never expressed remorse for any of his crimes, and has instead consistently portrayed himself as a victim of a corrupt justice system.
“You have no idea what you’ve done. The scars are still there, the wound is so deep,” she said. “He doesn’t take responsibility for anything. He has no concept of reality. It’s all about him. He’s a narcissist, he’s a sociopath.”He sounds like Trump
In internal documents, the Correctional Service of Canada has warned that Watts continues to be a risk to the public, an unrepentant sex offender with a history of drugging young women, sexual assault and stalking.
One alleged stalking case, in which Watts was investigated by police but never charged, involved Milton’s Susan Robb.
Robb said Watts stalked and harassed her for several months in 1994, an experience that caused her significant anxiety for years since.
At Christmas 1993, she was driving north on Highway 400 when she noticed a yellow car following close behind. When she pulled over at a rest stop, she said Watts followed her and appeared at her window.
He offered her a coffee and asked her to go out with him. She was terrified and told him to leave.
“I said, ‘Stop following me,'” Robb said. “He said, ‘My name is Christopher Watts, but I go by Michael … I’m going to keep following you until you tell me what your name is.'”
A few months later, Robb said, she came home to find someone had rummaged through her house. Weeks later, she received an unsettling call from a man named Michael.
“He said, ‘You can find anything you want to know from a licence plate,'” she recalled. She hung up.
The story grows stranger still when Robb was contacted by a detective from the Cambridge OPP detachment soon after, who said Watts had used her as an alibi. She was stunned.
Watts had been arrested for a string of break-ins, and told police he had been with Robb at the time of the crimes — calling her his girlfriend and describing in detail what the inside of her home looked like.
In 2002, Robb said, she received another call from police, this time an OPP officer in Guelph. She said the detective told her Watts had used her as an alibi during the investigation into Amanda’s death.
“She said, ‘He’s in custody for manslaughter,'” Robb said. “I thought, ‘Oh my God.’ I was sick about it. It’s haunted me from that very day.”
She met with police and gave a taped interview about her experience with Watts. They told her “at least 40” other women had also reported being stalked or assaulted prior to his arrest, she said.
“This guy is just bad news,” Robb said. “It’s obvious what his pattern is, and it’s not safe for society.”

‘Sexual predator’ set for release after violating supervision order in Saint John, Christopher Watts deemed a high risk to reoffend violently and sexually by Mia Urquhart, CBC News, sted: Feb 25, 2022
When Christopher Michael Watts was released from prison in British Columbia in 2017, police issued a warning to the public about his history of drugging and sexually assaulting teenage girls.
Halifax police said Watts had been deemed “a high risk to reoffend sexually.”
“He has exhibited a pattern of providing large quantities of drugs to young girls and engaging in sexual activity with them without regard for their ability to consent,” the warning stated.
Saint John police issued a similar warning when Watts arrived in the summer of 2019 to live at a halfway house.
Now that he’s due to be released from prison again, the National Parole Board says Watts has not changed. In a decision dated Feb. 22 and obtained by CBC News, the board said Watts continues to pose a high risk to reoffend.
In the document, the board tells Watts he continues to refuse to take responsibility for his crimes, has refused to take part in programming, and shows “significant disregard or even disdain for the conditions of [his] release and the need for public safety.”
It isn’t known where Watts, who is from Ontario, has been serving time, or where he’ll live when he is out of prison.
In an effort to protect the public, the parole board imposed numerous conditions on Watts’s release, including not to communicate with, or be in the presence of, females under the age of 18 unless accompanied by a “responsible adult who knows your criminal history, and has been previously approved in writing by your parole supervisor.”
Your criminal history is particularly aggravating, as you have committed serious sexual and violent offences against very vulnerable victims.
– National Parole Board
He isn’t allowed to possess pornography or own or use any “technological device” that could let him access the internet.He can access the internet at any library, FFS!He’s also not allowed to own more than one cell phone, has to provide all billing and calls log to his supervisor upon request, and can’t delete any information from the device without the prior consent of his supervisor.
The parole board said these, and other conditions imposed, are necessary to keep the public safe from Watts.
The board also said he has a history of not following the rules when released. In one case, he was back behind bars within a week.The report noted at least 10 breaches for various reasons, including accessing the internet, breaching a no-contact order, and “targeting” a parole officer.
All of those breaches have extended his 10-year long-term supervision order until April 2027, rather than November 2025.
The latest breach occurred in Saint John in June 2020, when he accessed a computer in a bookstore and spent a few minutes talking to a 17-year-old employee.
It is from that sentence that Watts is being released. He also continues to be covered by the conditions of the long-term supervision order.
Such orders kick in after a person has been released from prison, and can add up to 10 years of supervision while the person is in the community.
Watts served every day of his 12-year sentence for sexual assault, sexual interference and manslaughter in the death of a 13-year-old girl in Ontario in 2001, so if not for the long-term supervision order, he would have walked away from prison without any conditions.
‘Cunning, voracious sexual predator’
During sentencing in Saint John last March, the judge noted “a lengthy criminal history” that began in 1977.
It’s a criminal history that has been widely reported on by the media. In the 1980s, Watts eluded arrest for various crimes in the Hamilton, Ont., area by assuming the identity of a dead child with the same year of birth.
In 1989, he was sentenced to four years in prison after he hog-tied and gagged a teenage girl during a three-day cocaine and alcohol binge.
Then, in 2001, during a party at his home on a small private island about 20 minutes east of Kitchener, Ont., he sexually assaulted a 13-year-old girl while she was comatose after taking fatal amounts of morphine, oxycodone and amphetamine.
When he was sentenced in 2003, a judge said Watts had preyed “on vulnerable, immature, to some extent drug-dependent girls as young as 13 years of age.” He said Watts was “totally defiant, totally without any sense of guilt, totally without any sense of remorse.”
The judge also called him a “cunning, voracious sexual predator.”
Watts’s most recent parole decision also referred to the 13-year-old’s death.
“The victim fell into a drug-induced coma the next morning and you refused to allow the others attending your home to contact help. While unconscious, you undressed her, sexually assaulted her, and wrote obscene words on her body.”
While investigating her death, police found hundreds of photos from a hidden camera that included images of young women engaging in sexual acts or in stages of undress.
The report also makes note of several offences for which Watts was never charged, including “sexual assaults against a large number of female teenagers between the early 1990s up to the time of the current offences.”
‘Refusing to take responsibility’
In 2014, according to the report, Watts was diagnosed as a psychopath, “and the latest psychological risk assessment denotes that nothing has really changed in your case.”
“Such individuals can be glib and charming, but tend to be cunning and manipulative … callous and lacking in empathy,” the parole report quotes the psychiatrist as saying.
That assessment, according to the report, “is the best indicator of future recidivism, and the psychiatrist found your risk of serious future recidivism to be quite high.”
It goes on to say, “Your criminal history is particularly aggravating, as you have committed serious sexual and violent offences against very vulnerable victims, resulting in the loss of a young life.”
And even after 20 years, “you are still refusing to take responsibility.”
Police issue warning after man convicted in Kitchener girl’s death moves to Ottawa, Christopher Watts ‘poses a risk to the community,’ police say by Gordon Paul, Oct 25, 2022, The Record
Christopher Watts, convicted of manslaughter in the death of a Kitchener girl two decades ago, has moved to Ottawa, prompting police to warn residents about him.
“The Ottawa Police Service high-risk offender management unit deemed Watts poses a high risk to reoffend or breach his terms,” police said in a “public safety warning” on Monday.
Police said they believe Watts “poses a risk to the community, particularly women, including those under 18 years of age.”
Watts, 62, is now living in the Rideau-Vanier area of Ottawa, police said. They released a photo of him.
He will be monitored by the Correctional Service of Canada and the police high-risk offender management unit.
Watts had previously been living in the Kingston area.
He was sentenced to 12 years in prison and declared a long-term offender in 2003 after being convicted of manslaughter and sexual assault in the death of a 13-year-old girl, Amanda Raymond.
Raymond overdosed on drugs during an all-night party at Watts’ Somme Island home on Puslinch Lake near Cambridge in 2001.
“According to file information, you had a group of teenagers attend your home in June 2001 and gave the 13-year-old female victim drugs that included Percocets, OxyContin, speed and ecstasy,” the Parole Board of Canada said in a previous report.
“The victim fell into a drug-induced coma the next morning and you refused to allow the others attending your home to contact help.”
While Raymond was unconscious, the parole board said, Watts undressed her, sexually assaulted her and wrote obscene words on her body.
Watts is under a long-term supervision order with several conditions:
- He can’t be within 50 metres of places where children congregate, including schools, parks, swimming pools and recreation centres, unless accompanied by an adult approved of by his parole supervisor.
- He can’t be with females under 18 unless accompanied by an adult who knows his criminal history and has been approved of by his supervisor.
- He can’t use drugs other than prescribed medication and can’t drink alcohol.
Anyone who believes Watts has broken a condition should not approach him but call the high-risk offender management unit at 613-236-1222, ext. 4395, police said.
When Watts was released from a British Columbia prison in 2015, he began a 10-year term of community supervision with 12 conditions.
He was temporarily returned to prison multiple times for allegedly breaking conditions. In 2017, staff at a halfway house found among his possessions a voyeurism DVD, a box cutter and a story called “Jane in the Box,” about a young woman being kidnapped, confined naked and drowned, the parole board said in a report.
Watts was back behind bars on a 16-month sentence after being convicted in March 2021 of breaching his long-term supervision order by making inappropriate comments to a 17-year-old girl in a bookstore, the parole board said.
Earlier this year, when Watts was released from prison to live in the Kingston area, Kingston Police released a photo of him and issued a “safety notice” saying he may pose a risk.
He was sent back to prison in June after authorities learned he allegedly met up with a “vulnerable” woman and briefly entered 13 “exclusion zones” where children frequent.
The parole board revoked his statutory release, which is automatically granted to federal offenders after serving two-thirds of their sentence.
“While you have not committed any new criminal offences, the board comfortably concludes that your behaviours, actions and decisions have elevated your risk to the point of being undue,” the board said at the time.
“Despite the efforts of those charged with your supervision and reintegration efforts, you remain assessed as a high risk for general, violent and sexual offending.”
One month after walking out of prison in February, he allegedly met a woman and hung out with her in downtown Kingston.
“The female reported she did not know you and only met you on that day before allowing you in her vehicle and giving you her phone number,” the board said.
“You lied to her about your name and the police note the female is vulnerable and that alcohol could have played a factor. The female reported she does not want to pursue a relationship with you and regrets her decision to allow you in her car.”
Watts’ parole officer learned he had briefly entered “no less than 13 exclusion zones,” including areas with a “boys and girls club” and an elementary school in a residential area, the parole board said.
“You simply stated you walked by when travelling to other locations,” the board said. “You agreed to start taking a different path, but it happened again the following day.”
Weeks after his release was revoked, Watts was again freed from prison.
