Dated the day this page was built. The link always leads to this event, even after the stories are regrouped.
Records show the Parole Board of Canada approved day parole, with specific conditions, for Cameron Jay Ortis, who was found guilty in November 2023 of violating the Security of Information Act.
What happened
The outlets' own sentences, most widely reported first. Hover one for who reported it.
Ortis was sentenced to 14 years in prison in early 2024 but he had only seven years and 155 days left to serve due to time already spent in custody.
Day parole allows offenders to participate in community-based activities during the day, but they must return to a designated location in the evening.
Ortis, 54, led an RCMP group that assembled secret information on cybercriminals, terror cells and transnational criminal networks.
Ortis, who was born and raised in British Columbia, obtained a PhD in political science and international relations and completed a post-doctoral fellowship.
