Another case where the Adam Walsh Child Protection and Safety Act of 2006 may have prevented another child abduction?
Whitmore has a long criminal record which may very well be the understatement of the year!
In 1993, he was convicted of abduction and five sexual offences involving four young boys in Toronto. He spent a year and four months in custody.
Nine days after his release, he took an eight-year-old girl from Guelph, Ont., to Toronto and was sentenced to more than four and a half years in jail.
Less than a month after his November 2000 release, he was found in a downtown Toronto motel with a 13-year-old boy. He was sentenced to one year in jail.
In 2002, a Toronto judge sentenced him to three years’ jail for probation violations because he fled to B.C. after being found in the company of a five-year-old boy.
Those parole violations included the fact he was carrying a “rape kit” in his backpack while in B.C. It contained latex gloves, pictures of young children, tubes of jelly lubricant, duct tape, a sleeping bag and plastic zipper ties that can be used as handcuffs.
Whitmore was released on June 16th, 2005, after serving his entire three-year sentence and took up residence in Chilliwack.
