Outrage in Durham Region as High-Risk Offender Granted Temporary Releases

A sixty-five-year-old man, Darren Scott Ray, serving life for a 1986 rape and murder, has sparked controversy with three unescorted 72-hour absences this year. Despite high reoffending risks and past consent issues, the parole board approved these trips to a community facility. Ontario Premier Doug Ford criticized the decision, demanding a system overhaul and immediate reversal of releases. Durham Regional Police warned of significant community risk and plan talks with federal corrections. Local councillor Chris Leahy launched a petition, pushing for earlier alerts to towns about high-risk offenders.
