Samuel Green committed five separate sexual assaults targeting women as they walked alone at night
This article discusses the release of Samuel Clements Green, a serial rapist who was warned to the public by Halifax police in December 2022. Key concept: Green is being released on "statutory release", a legal requirement in Canada that mandates the release of federal offenders after serving two-thirds of their fixed-length sentence, subject to community supervision. While the Parole Board of Canada does not decide on statutory release, they set conditions for Green's release, including mandatory placement in a halfway house or psychiatric facility. The article emphasizes that despite his past crimes, Green's release is mandated by law, not by the Parole Board's discretion.
