A serial sex offender known as the “balaclava rapist” for attacking 23 women in Edmonton more than 40 years ago has been granted full parole while he continues to serve three consecutive life sentences.
The Parole Board of Canada says 71-year-old Larry Takahashi has demonstrated prolonged stability at the home where he lives and he is “highly motivated to reintegrate safely back into society.”
He gained his nickname for wearing a ski mask during a series of attacks on women over several years in Edmonton before his arrest in 1983, which led to a guilty plea on 14 charges.
