Martin Tremblay a dangerous offender, court rules
A B.C. man with a history of plying teenage girls with alcohol and drugs before sexually assaulting them, has been declared a dangerous offender and been handed an indeterminate sentence in B.C. Supreme Court.
Martin Tremblay was convicted in February 2013 in the deaths of 16-year-old Kayla Lalonde and 17-year-old Martha Jackson.
Both died at Tremblay's Richmond house in March of 2010 after he invited them in and gave them alcohol and narcotics.
When they passed out from intoxication, he filmed himself fondling the young women. The court ruled he did little to help them as they died.
Lalonde was found dead on a Burnaby street after witnesses said she had been dumped from a van.
Jackson died after being rushed by ambulance from Tremblay's Richmond home.
Earlier convictions
In 2002 Tremblay was convicted of five counts of sexual assault and sentenced to 14 months for plying five aboriginal teenage girls with drugs and alcohol and then videotaping his sex acts with them after they had passed out.
In an extraordinary act in 2011, police issued a warning about Tremblay, who was 45-years-old and in jail at the time, asking for victims to come forward so that he could be kept imprisoned.
Crown prosecutors asked for the dangerous offender designation at a court hearing in January.
