Balcony rapist denied schooling at Langara College

The convicted felon known as the "balcony rapist" wants to go to college in B.C. But the school -- Langara College in Vancouver -- doesn't want Paul Callow as a student.

Callow, 52, was released from prison in February after serving 20 years for a series of brutal knife-point rapes in Toronto during the 1980s. Callow stalked the young women he attacked and used their unlocked balconies to enter their homes.

Callow served his time and is now living in the Lower Mainland. He says he's living up to the 17 conditions of his release, including a night-time curfew.

Callow says all he wants to do right now is live a productive life.

Recently he enrolled in film and television production courses at Langara College.

He needs the courses so he can work with his sister, a filmmaker. Callow was accepted and even paid his fees.

But then officials at Langara College -- a school which touts the slogan "Freedom through knowledge" on a sign at its entrance -- changed their minds. They're now refusing to admit him as an on-campus student.
