Ontario plans public access to sex offender registry under Christopher’s Law amid safety concerns.
安大略总理道格·福特(Doug Ford)在加拿大最高法院裁决取消对儿童色情制品犯罪的强制性最低刑罚后,正在探索让公众查阅该省的性罪犯登记册,称为《克里斯托弗法》。
Ontario Premier Doug Ford is exploring public access to the province’s sex offender registry, known as Christopher’s Law, following a Supreme Court of Canada ruling that eliminated mandatory minimum sentences for child pornography offences.
福特认为,为了保护家庭,改变是必要的,他表示,如果在法庭上受到质疑,他将使用尽管有的条款来为这项措施辩护。
Ford argues the change is necessary to protect families and says he would use the notwithstanding clause to defend the measure if challenged in court.
这项提案是以1988年被一名注册罪犯谋杀的11岁的Christopher Stephenson的名字命名的。 提案是在公共安全关切加剧的情况下提出的,包括大多伦多地区涉嫌纵火致死和公墓盗窃事件。
The proposal, named after 11-year-old Christopher Stephenson, who was murdered in 1988 by a registered offender, comes amid heightened public safety concerns, including a suspected arson death and cemetery thefts in the Greater Toronto Area.
