So, the convicted sex offender went to a local women’s shelter and told them that, yes, Green identified as a woman and needed a place to stay. This was on Aug. 22.
Police sources told The Toronto Sun, Green was allowed to stay, but allegedly made sexually inappropriate comments to staff and clients.
Two days later, Green allegedly sexually assaulted one of the women, a client, at the shelter. None of the charges have been tested in court.
“Green really seems to know how the shelter system works and because it’s 2022 and in the current climate, workers at the shelters feel they have to let Green stay,” one law enforcement source said on the condition of anonymity.
No doubt, the women working at the shelter are cognizant that in these hyper-sensitive times, they could potentially lose their jobs and have their reputations shattered for turning away Green.
“So you have these extremely vulnerable women in distress, and they have to deal with Green because of political expediency,” the source added.
And needless to say, it isn’t Green’s first rodeo. In fact, the hulking 6-foot-2, 230-pounder has also been flagged by the shelter system in Strathroy, west of London. Sources say that Green will also allegedly identify as a woman and then claim to have a child just to get in the shelter door.
In 2018, Green was convicted of sexual assault after he dragged a 15-year-old female McDonald’s employee into a bathroom stall at one of the fast food giant’s restaurants. Inside the stall, Green attacked the victim who was cleaning the washroom.
At the time, Green told detectives he was “having bad thoughts about hurting someone and when she saw the victim, her thoughts overcame his actions.”

Now, the 25-year-old — who is originally from Brantford — is charged with two counts of sexual assault in connection to the Parry Sound incident along with … AHEM … failing to comply with a release order.
At the time of the 2018 McDonald’s incident, Green was on probation for a 2016 theft under $5,000 charge. Green got a suspended sentence on the latter.
Apparently, if past news clips are any indication, Green has some mental health issues and was ordered to get some help. Green is now on ice in the Parry Sound jail.
According to cops, Green’s known to hang out in London, Midland, Waterloo, Kitchener and her hometown of Brantford.
“Green is very familiar with policies at women’s shelters, and will make comments about his gender identity as a way to intimidate their staff,” the source said.
“Green tries the same stunts with law enforcement.”
Sometime in the past five years, it was decided that biological women were expendable in the steamroller of equity. Particularly vulnerable women struggling with drugs, domestic violence and other plagues.
Of course, we all know that if Green showed up at a posh rehab centre packed with women from Rosedale, Forest Hill, the Annex and the Bridal Path, they would be shown the door in record time.
We care about women’s rights. Just not all women.
