Create Account Yohans, 36, appeared virtually in a Guelph courtroom and was remanded in custody to Wednesday when he is slated to have yet another of his many bail hearings. We're pretty sure he's not worried — they seem to always go his way. Again. And again. Convicted of sexual assault involving unwanted touching of two female strangers, Yohans has been described as a 'high risk offender' by Guelph Police in three public warnings they've issued each time he's been released from custody over this past year. The latest bulletin came in a July 24 warning that Yohans had been released after serving time in Guelph: 'His whereabouts are presently unknown. He has a history of violence, that includes two stranger sexual assaults. The Guelph Police Service believes that Yohans poses a risk to the community, particularly to women, and is concerned that he may commit similar offences in the future.'

Within just 24 hours of Yohan's release, he was charged with four counts of breach of probation, disobeying a court order and criminal harassment. 'A woman with whom he had an interaction about a year ago called police Friday morning because she saw him on her way to work and he then (allegedly) followed her and attempted to gain entry to her workplace,' explained Guelph Police spokesman Scott Tracey. Recommended video Shall we take bets on how soon he's released again? Yohans has been in trouble since at least 2018. According to one news report in April of that year, Guelph Police had arrested him three times in one weekend for allegedly breaking into vehicles, trying to dine and dash and exposing himself. He'd be released on bail only to be rearrested hours later. This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below. In January 2023, the charges were more serious: Tracey said Yohans was arrested for sexual assaults on two strangers, one of them a teenaged international student, that involved allegations of unwanted touching in public places — one on a sidewalk and the other inside a social service agency. Guelph Police said they don't usually issue public warnings but their concern about Yohans warranted three. The first bulletin, accompanied by his photo, was issued in August 2024 warning women in particular that he'd been released from custody in Toronto after serving his sentence for the sexual assaults but hadn't reported in as required. Later that month, Yohans was arrested for two counts of not complying with release conditions. This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below. In February 2025, Guelph Police issued another warning to the community that Yohans was about to be released March 1 after completing his sentence. He was rearrested March 8 for allegedly breaching his probation order by not reporting to authorities following his release. He was was freed on bail, of course, on March 9. On March 10, the University of Guelph issued a safety bulletin warning students that Yohans had been found sleeping on a bench and had been kicked out by campus safety officers. Later that same day, Guelph Police charged him with allegedly breaching a no-contact order. Last week, Yohans was released from custody after completing his latest sentence — and just a day later, he's back in the slammer. This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below. The revolving door of this criminal's life is dizzying. Four arrests in the last year alone. Will he now be freed once more by our ever-optimistic justice system? The Guelph Police spokesman took pains not to criticize the judiciary — but made it obvious the cops don't want this guy released on bail yet again. 'Now that he's back in custody, it's in the court's hands ultimately what they decide to do in terms of whether to release him or not,' Tracey said. 'But I think we've made it clear that we do believe he represents an active and ongoing risk to the community when he's at large.' Hopefully, which ever justice of the peace or judge presiding over his bail hearing will finally feel the same. mmandel@ MLB Toronto & GTA Editorial Cartoons Canada Canada

Ontario photographer receives box of staples instead of $2,577 camera lens they ordered
An Ontario photographer is frustrated after her $2,577 camera lens is replaced with box of staples. An Ontario woman who enjoys photography wanted to buy a special camera lens she found online. But, when the shipment arrived, she opened it to find a box of staples instead. 'I was completely shocked. I didn't know what to do,' Viktoryia Shkel of Maple, Ont. told CTV News Toronto. Shkel is a photography enthusiast and said she wanted to upgrade to a more advanced camera lens. She said she found one online on Canon Canada's website for $2,577 that was part of a 'damaged box' sale. However, when the shipment arrived in mid-June, Shkel said she opened the box to find it was full of staples. 'The box was supposed to contain a Canon EF 24-70mm lens, and instead there was a box of staples,' she said. Shkel told CTV News she contacted Canon Canada to explain what happened, and sent photos of what she received. 'They notified me that all protocols were followed... they said the lens was inspected in the facility and by the time the lens left, everything was intact.' She said that while the outside box was sealed, the box for the camera lens had been opened—something that is standard with open or damaged box sales. 'There was no safety seal,' she said. Shkel claimed the box of staples weighed the same as what the camera lens would. But, following an internal investigation by Canon Canada, she was told she would not be getting a refund. box of staples Viktoryia Shkel of Maple, Ont. shows the weight of the box of staples she received instead of a $2,577 camera lens. (Supplied) 'I'm completely heartbroken. I'm completely shocked this happened to me and I'm really, really upset.' In late 2023, CTV News reported on a similar story with the Mankad family of Brampton. The family had ordered a laptop, but received two books instead. 'Someone must have opened the box, took out the laptop and replaced it with two books of equal weight and size,' Hardik Mankad said at the time. With CTV News' help, the Mankad family got a refund. In Shkel's case, CTV News reached out to Canon Canada and a spokesperson said in a statement, 'Internally, we have launched an investigation with our customer care and warehouse teams to examine what may have occurred.' 'We can confirm that our current process for outbound shipments require a weight verification of the product(s) held within and must match our strict weight measurements before being sent. Both our warehouse and shipping partner have confirmed that the outbound package did match the measurements and weight that would be expected for the lens model purchased, however based on the information provided by Viktoryia, it appears that the package may have been tampered with after departing our facility.' 'This is an unusual situation that we have not previously encountered, but while we continue the investigation with our shipping partner, we understand that the customer is currently bearing the financial burden of this loss. Customer satisfaction is a top priority for our brand, and we are currently in the process of issuing a refund to this customer for the cost of the lens.' Shkel has now received a full refund and plans to buy a new lens in person at a camera store.
