ONTARIO, CANADA - Ontario corrections officials have denied a request to transfer registered child sex offender Daniel Senecal to a women's jail as the 25-year-old awaits a bail hearing in another case, this one involving an attack on a girl in Welland.
Senecal was released earlier this year after serving time for the sexual assault of a 12-year-old in the Niagara Region city. The latest charges involve a three-year-old over the Labour Day weekend. Niagara police said the girl was sexually assaulted after someone broke into the family home.
"The request to transfer facilities was denied," Oleksandr Shvets, a spokesperson for Ontario Solicitor General Michael Kerzner, told CBC News in an email on Friday.
According to police, the child — referred to by supporters of the family as "Little E" — suffered serious injuries and had to be rushed to an out-of-region hospital for advanced care.
Senecal faces fives charges, including break and enter, aggravated sexual assault and sexual interference.
