Stanley James Tippett is a Canadian criminal who in 2011 was nominated by the Crown to be declared a dangerous offender. Declaration as a dangerous offender would be all the Crown needed to jail Tippett indefinitely.[1] The declaration was granted by the court, and Tippett will remain in prison for an indeterminate amount of time.[2]
Tippett was convicted in December 2009 of seven criminal counts, including kidnapping and sexual assault. Tippett was convicted of kidnapping and sexually assaulting a 12-year-old girl he abducted from a Peterborough, Ontario street. At the time of his arrest, the police searching his van found duct tape, rope, a jackknife, shears, measuring tape, a hammer and long plastic ties.[3]
Stanley Tippett is also the prime suspect in the 1999 death of 15-year-old Sharmini Anandavel, his neighbour when he lived in the North York district of Toronto, who had told her parents and close friends that she had taken a job with Tippett.[4] Sharmini's younger brother also recalls Tippett offering her employment while in his presence.[5]
