Leftist madness in Canada: Man who sexually assaulted/terrorized girl gets reduced sentence because he’s indigenous

The identity of the offender of “Cree heritage” is being protected, which should not be the case. He’s being treated as a victim because of his heritage, and because Gladue principles, as described in the article below, were set out in a Supreme Court of Canada decision a quarter century ago.

The case follows the same ideology of a kind of Kafkaesque society that leftist elitists have advanced: belonging to any group that is considered to be the victims of white oppression, e.g. blacks, indigenous, Muslims, can commit any crime against an innocent person and be entitled to a reduced punishment because their group is “over-represented” in jails. In the leftist mind, these groups are incapable of getting over the past, as other groups have done. So without actually saying it, leftists have reduced members of these groups to an inferior status vis-a-vis other groups, as they have a flaw that one does not see in other groups. For instance, the Chinese went through gruesome human rights abuses from the Japanese during World War II. Muslims have violently persecuted Christians in the Middle East since the foundation of Islam. Jews went through the Holocaust. They are all expected to live by the law.

But leftists treat blacks, indigenous people and Muslims differently; they have lower expectations of performance. It is leftists who maintain this view of these groups, and view themselves as inherently superior, while encouraging these groups to perpetually embrace historic psychological victimhood and its chains. It is the worst kind of oppression to keep specific elements of humanity in a place of victimhood and reward them for delinquent behavior, particularly violence against innocent people.

The same mentality can be seen in the tolerance that British authorities displayed toward the Muslim rape gangs who preyed upon innocent white and Sikh girls.

The steering of sympathy away from innocent victims and toward the perpetrators characterizes the evil on the far left.

The Calgary Judge Jayme Williams would likely not have regarded Gladue principles had the 12-year-old been Williams’ own daughter.

“Indigenous man who terrorized girl half his age gets reduced sentence,” by Chris Lambie, National Post, September 21, 2025:

A Calgary judge knocked two years off a 10-year sentence he would have given a man who terrorized and repeatedly sexually assaulted a 12-year-old girl he met when he was 25 because the offender is Indigenous.

The man of Cree heritage on his mother’s side, who first met the girl on Instagram, is identified only as RJM in a decision from the Alberta Court of Justice. His victim, who he assaulted and threatened to kill multiple times between the spring and fall of 2023, is identified as AB.

“The offender repeatedly had sexual intercourse with her knowing that he held the power in the situation not only because of their age difference but also because he had inflicted physical harm on her and psychological terror to ensure that she would comply,” Justice Jayme Williams wrote in a recent decision…..

RJM’s lawyer argued for a six-year sentence for her client who also pleaded guilty to leading police on a wild chase before he was arrested in September 2023 and to threatening the girl and her mother once he was locked up to convince her to recant her statement to police.…

Gladue principles were set out in a Supreme Court of Canada decision a quarter century back and indicate sentencing judges must consider the unique circumstances of Indigenous offenders, as well as systemic issues like the impact of residential schools, to address the over-representation of Indigenous people in Canada’s prisons.

“The offender’s life has been directly influenced by many of the Gladue factors,” Williams said….
