Canada Sucks:

Daryl Koluk was a 40-year-old registered sex offender when he posted a classified Internet ad last summer looking for someone in need of extra cash to clean his east Hamilton apartment.

The Kijiji ad attracted a 12-year-old boy, who brought two friends along to help get the job done. Koluk arranged to pick up the children at a Tim Hortons outlet and drive them back to his place on Grandville Avenue.

After they finished cleaning on that first occasion, he asked if any of the boys would like to earn additional money by lying down on his bed. One agreed and Koluk proceeded to perform oral sex on him, while the other boys watched from behind a partly closed door. The young volunteer received an additional $40.

The children — sometimes joined by a fourth boy and a sister of one of them — went to Koluk’s apartment five times during July 2009. They were never asked again to clean but earned about $200 in all by participating in sexual acts and bondage games with Koluk.

Koluk pleaded guilty on Wednesday to four counts of touching a child under 16 for a sexual purpose and one of possessing child pornography. Ontario Court Justice Timothy Culver sentenced him to four years in prison on top of 51/2 months of pretrial custody.

One of the boys was in court to watch Koluk plead guilty, but became upset and fled with his mother as the allegations were being read to the accused man.

Hamilton police found 174 digital movie files and 97 still images on Koluk’s computer. Among them was a photograph of one of the victims.

The 11-year-old boy was shown in bondage gear, with a ball stuffed in his mouth, a steel collar around his neck and his body tied up with rope.

Where the hell were these kids parents? Oh and by the way, this was not Koluk’s first rodeo:

Assistant Crown attorney Jill McKenzie said although Koluk did not molest the girl, she was present when the boys, aged 9, 11, 12 and 14, were being sexually assaulted.

She said Koluk was a convicted sex offender at the time, having been sentenced in 2001 to six months in jail and probation for sexually abusing other children.

How else would you explain this glad handling of child rapists?
