A previousSt John’s policeman that raped a lady while at work almost a years back has actually been launched on parole after offering a quarter of his sentence behind bars.
Doug Snelgrove was founded guilty of sexual offense in 2021 after a court discovered he did not have permission when he dedicated sex-related acts versus a 21-year-old lady he drove home from a midtown club in 2014.
He was provided parole Aug 7, according to a Parole Board of Canada choice, and purchased to continue to be at his home inSt John’s. The single parole problem noted on the choice bans Snelgrove from calling his sufferer.
Snelgrove was initially up for parole in the summer season of 2025. As of this August, he had around 11 months staying on his custodial sentence.
The parole choice claims he was evaluated to have a reduced threat of reoffending.
The previous Royal Newfoundland Constabulary constable was punished to 4 years behind bars in November 2021. He has actually invested the huge bulk of that time– over 2 years of it– living at home with his spouse while on bond.
After his sentence, Snelgrove sought to have his allure listened to by the Newfoundland and Labrador Court of Appeal and the Supreme Court of Canada.
He started offering his time in earnest in February, after the nation’s leading court decreased to hear his situation.
In all, the previous policeman has actually invested simply under a year of his three-year, 10-month sentence behind bars, with his prison time expanded over a number of brief jobs starting in May 2021.
