Former hockey coach Graham James granted full parole on sex offences
LAVAL, Que. — A decision to grant convicted sex offender Graham James full parole sparked outrage Thursday from some of the players he abused when he was a junior hockey coach.
James, 64, is serving a federal sentence for sexually assaulting players with the Swift Current Broncos of the Western Hockey League in the late 1980s and early ’90s.
The Parole Board of Canada’s decision followed a hearing in Quebec, where James has lived for several years.
The move to grant James full parole was swiftly denounced by some of his victims.
