Episode Details

A 73-year-old convicted rapist and murderer, Douglas Worth, has been granted expanded day parole privileges — allowing him to leave his halfway house for up to three nights at a time — despite still being deemed an above-average risk for sexual violence. The Parole Board of Canada praised his progress in prison and community reintegration, citing his commitment to correctional programming as justification for removing a mandatory sexual deviancy treatment requirement. Though he’s shown no breach of no-contact orders with the victim’s family, a recent victim statement revealed lingering fear. The board rejected requests for geographical restrictions, citing no evidence of contact attempts. Convicted in 1990 for the 1987 murder of 12-year-old Trina Campbell — a case that began with tips from people close to him — Worth also has a prior 1978 rape conviction and a history of break-ins and theft. While he hasn’t undergone a full psychiatric assessment since 2025, he must still follow a treatment plan overseen by a mental health nurse and abide by other release conditions.
