Ridiculous having to go through that when you are 83 years old. The OPP should have did more for him. It sounds like he was ignored because of his age.
This is a horrifying story. The OPP did not do their jobs. In my opinion they should be liable. It’s pretty easy to ask the so called tenant, to provide any proof of residency. Mail, driver license, lease, anything! That would be police work 101. It’s very disheartening that we have such an inadequate police department in our area. We have a first hand experience with our local OPP when we moved here 8 years ago, and had a break in at our new home in Campbellford. The OPP were completely disinterested, and didn’t even bother coming to the house. They said that there was nothing they could do. This did not fill us with confidence.
This landlord was a total slum lord and never lived on the property. The tenant in the main house should have been paid tens of thousands of dollars for the mold, poor living conditions, lack of water in the winter, constant harassment, but like most poor people didn’t wherewithal or help to spend the year plus to deal with the matter with the ltb. This article was so poorly sourced and just trash. He went to jail because he beat her with a machete. He also threatened multiple other people with a machete. The cops didn’t believe him because he had steadily lied to them and tortured the single mother tenant and her three daughters. You need to pull this from your site and maybe interview some neighbours and are happy Monty is gone from this area.
Also, all three of the cabins are illegally on municipal property and should be torn down.

And race! Old and black worked against him with the OPP, I’m betting.

The story is based on court documents and the judge's ruling, so I won't be removing it.
Pretty piss poor journalism
