A judge in the Ontario Superior Court of Justice expressed concerns about the trajectory of Canada’s justice system, saying it often prioritizes the well-being of foreign criminals over that of Canadian victims.
Justice Antonio Skarica made the comments in handing down a 28-month prison sentence to a Nigerian national who previously held a valid student visa. Boss Omeire was convicted earlier this year of extorting $50 from a woman and posting an intimate video of her online without her consent after threatening to “decimate” her life.
