"Are you dangerous to the community now?" KIRO 7 reporter Linzi Sheldon asked.
Days later, he crossed the border, and authorities did not stop him. He had no place to live and no job. KIRO 7 asked if he was going to commit any other crimes in Seattle.
"No! I haven't since I got thrown in prison in 2004," Stanley said. "My face is all over. You think I'm going to do a crime?"
SEATTLE — KIRO 7 spoke with him exclusively after he registered with the King County Sheriff's Office as homeless sex offender in Seattle.
"No!" he said. "Have you heard anybody get hurt by me? No!"
In fact, Stanley disputed some of his convictions, including a conviction for sexually assaulting a woman in her 80s. According to parole board records, Stanley was released from prison in 2011 after serving time for assaulting two mentally-challenged boys.
He had to wear an electronic monitoring ankle bracelet, but on Oct. 1, he cut it off.
He explained to KIRO 7, "I had served my sentence. I had no parole, I did all my time; I didn't want to play their game. I wanted to get out and start fresh."
Canadian authorities said that his offense, cutting off his bracelet, was not serious enough to extradite him.
