A man kidnaps and sexually assaults children, makes plea bargain, gets life sentence with a hope clause of a possible 7 year parole with a no Dangerous offender status in the event he is ever released.

Final Thought
Remember this face, so if he is ever released, start wondering which neighbourhood he will make his home?

Peter Whitmore, accused of sexually assaulting a Saskatchewan boy and a Manitoba teenager, is expected to say in court today if he'll accept a proposed plea deal from the Crown.

In exchange for a guilty plea, the Crown has offered Whitmore a life sentence with the chance of parole in seven years.

Whitmore faces 15 charges arising from events last July involving the two boys.

His charges include three counts of sexual assault causing bodily harm, one kidnapping charge, one charge of abduction of a person under the age of 14 and one charge of unlawful confinement, among others.
