An infamous Kelowna pedophile is back behind bars after breaching his statutory release conditions, again.
Shawn Joshua Deacon, 50, is one of the most notorious pedophiles in Kelowna's history, with a decades-long rap sheet of abusing young boys and girls.
He was released on Nov. 26, 2015, to live in a halfway house under strict conditions.
Deacon used to call Kelowna home and was released into the community in 2005, but eventually left following a public outcry and moved to Vancouver.
In 2013, he was found to be in breach of his conditions and returned to jail.
In November 2015, he was given another chance, released into an unknown community under strict conditions, including no contact with anyone under 16, no attendance in places where children under 16 are likely to be, no indirect or direct contact with any of his victims, to reside at the residential facility chosen for him and nowhere else, no access to the Internet in any form, no possession of images of children under 16, a condition to follow a specific treatment plan and program and to immediately report all intimate relationships.
He was released despite his lengthy history of abuse and deception with legal authorities. Deacon has reportedly breached parole conditions more than 15 times.
His release, however, didn't last long as it was revoked on June 15, 2016.
According to report prepared by the Parole Board of Canada, Deacon violated his release conditions by sending a package to a man he knew had children that included a congratulations card on his partner's pregnancy and a book that officials believe was for the man's children.
The parole board states Deacon has a history of grooming techniques to gain access to children that included befriending the child's guardians or parents to gain access.
The board notes that the man brought the violation to their attention given Deacon’s history of befriending parents of children and grooming the victims by providing gifts.
His case management team reported Deacon is “unmanageable in the community” and recommended his statutory release be revoked.
The report notes that Deacon wanted to be returned to custody even threatening to commit another crime to be put back in jail.
The board adds that Deacon is a “very high risk to reoffend.”
Despite his lengthy criminal history and massive public outcry, Deacon has not been designated a dangerous offender.
