🇨🇦 Man who immigrated to Canada fled the country one day after he was convicted of sex assault

H.B., a 31-year-old Indian-born software developer, was convicted by an Ontario jury of sexual assault and extortion against a vulnerable newcomer woman he met on a dating app. Within 24 hours of the verdict, he fled across the U.S. border, caught a flight to Zurich, and vanished. Seven years in prison, handed down in absentia. He came here as a post-grad student seven years ago, built a career in tech, then weaponized his victim's newness to Canada — telling her no one would believe her, that he knew how the system worked, that she'd be abandoned and shamed.

This is what open-door immigration without serious vetting or cultural integration delivers: predators who exploit the same vulnerabilities the system pretends to protect, then walk away the moment accountability arrives. No deportation order matters when the border is a suggestion and enforcement is a punchline. The woman wanted a future. She got a monster with a Canadian work permit and a plane ticket out.
