Update to sex offender story

The American sex offender I wrote of earlier this week was released from custody on Friday and ordered to live at his family's home in St. Catharines, Ontario.

“I'm satisfied that as a danger, you're at the low end,” said immigration review board member Ken Thomson. Malcolm Watson had been arrested trying to re-enter Canada from the U.S., where he was reporting to his probation officer.

Some of you wrote in to ask about Canada's age of consent. The way I understand it, the age of consent is 14, HOWEVER, in a teacher-student or similar relationship, the law jumps up to 18. So since it would also be a crime on Canadian soil, Watson should be treated like a criminal on Canadian soil. But nobody in power seems to understand that.
