OTTAWA -- The Crown is considering a dangerous offender bid for a deaf-mute man who pleaded guilty Tuesday to his sixth sexual assault.
Marc Lecuyer, 31, entered his guilty plea through a sign-language interpreter.
The chubby man, clad in a baggy lumberjack shirt, watched the interpreter intently as the court heard that on Feb. 24, 2009, he followed a woman he knew into the laundry room of an apartment complex.
He was captured on a surveillance camera wearing only boxer shorts. His penis was hanging out.
He pointed at it while making grunting noises and humping motions with his hips.
The victim put up her hand, shook her head and yelled “no.”
Lecuyer put up his hands but when the victim turned around to put her laundry in the machine, he grabbed her crotch from behind and rubbed her through her clothes.
The victim spun around and pushed him away, yelling “no” again. Lecuyer left.
He then pushed letters under the woman’s door.
“Dear you,” he wrote in block letters, before telling her that he was sorry and not to call police.
He then wrote in crude terms the sexual acts he wanted to perform on her.
“I really want a sex,” he added.
The accused wrote in another letter to a social worker that he was frustrated because he had no money, no girlfriend, was suffering from scabies and didn’t like where he lived.
“I was kind out of control not all much,” Lecuyer admitted. “I have an hard time in my life.”
The court has heard Lecuyer was not taking his medication for an unspecified psychiatric illness.
Prosecutor Michael Cole said that the Crown is considering making an application for an assessment under dangerous offender provisions of the Criminal Code.
The law allows people to be locked up indefinitely or for long set periods if they’re shown to be, among other things, unable to control their sexual impulses and are likely to cause injury, pain or “other evil” to others.
Lecuyer was sentenced to two years less a day for sexual assault, uttering threats and unlawfully being in a dwelling house in 2005 in Ottawa.
He was previously convicted of sexual assaults in Ottawa, Oakville and Toronto along with two assaults on police officers.
Lecuyer will next appear in court Nov. 6.
