VANCOUVER ISLAND, BRITISH COLUMBIA - Convicted pe*****le Harry Sadd is now living on Vancouver Island after serving his sentence and being let out on statutory release.

Sadd was sentenced in 2019 for s*xually assaulting children in the 1960s and ’70s.

The 78-year-old is back living on the Island on statutory release after serving two-thirds of his eight-year sentence for s*xually abusing children.

In 2016, Victoria Police arrested Sadd, and charged him with s*xual assaults against a dozen different boys between the ages of nine and 15, dating back to the 1960s.

The board found Sadd still believes children can consent to s*xual activity and that the victims were consenting participants.

And the parole board determined that he’s causing continuing harm to his victims, given the nature of his offending, poor community supervision history, unsatisfactory performance in programs, lack of insight, and refusal to amend harmful beliefs.

During his release Sadd has to report all relationships, and cannot have contact with his victims, and their families. He cannot have access to any po*******hy, and must have no contact with children, or be near places with children like playgrounds or swimming pools.

One of his victims, who was s*xually assaulted by Sadd over 200 times, received a letter informing him of Sadd’s release. His identity is protected by a publication ban, but he’s adamant that Sadd should never be released.
