Canada: Six Men Arrested in Child Luring Sting, Released Without Bail Hearing

Government-critical narrative

Releasing child predators without bail represents a catastrophic failure of justice that betrays every parent's trust. Under Canada’s Criminal Code, judges are bound by the “principle of restraint,” meaning bail laws make pre-trial detention the exception rather than the rule, even in cases involving alleged attempts to buy sex from children. Canada's standards have collapsed when suspects arranging to buy sex from minors face minimal consequences, rather than immediate incarceration.
