A convicted child sex offender and murderer in Canada has had his Long Term Supervision Order extended due to a continued risk of re-offending.
Jatin Patel, a biological male who identifies as a woman, has a lengthy criminal history dating back decades and spanning two countries.
In 2003, one day after being deported back to Canada after committing crimes in the United States, Patel murdered a trans-identified male prostitute in a motel in North Vancouver.
Patel stuffed the corpse in a closet and, the next night, brought a female prostitute back to the room. The woman noticed the body and questioned Patel on it, who stated he was considering chopping the corpse up and throwing the parts into the ocean. The woman discouraged Patel from doing so, convincing him it would distress the victim’s family. She managed to leave unharmed and immediately went to police.
Patel was arrested, charged, and ultimately sentenced to nine years for manslaughter, but was released in just four after receiving credit for time served. Patel was re-apprehended in 2009 after breaching the conditions of his release, which included staying out of areas known for prostitution.
But by 2015, Patel was once again on the streets, and this time targeting young girls.
In January of that year, he sent an unsolicited Facebook message to a 13-year-old girl, luring her and a friend to a motel room in Surrey, British Columbia with the promise of drugs. While the girl was under the influence of crystal meth, Patel sexually assaulted her.
Just two months later, Patel sexually assaulted the 13-year-old again while in an addictions recovery house. Around the same time, Patel molested another young girl in a Safeway grocery store, rubbing her buttocks while the child was shopping with her mother.
Patel was convicted of both sex crimes, and a Crown Judge designated him a ‘dangerous offender,’ handing down an indefinite jail sentence — a rare occurrence in Canada.
But in 2020, Patel, suddenly identifying as a woman, launched a successful appeal of his dangerous offender status and sentence. The next year, he was released from prison, with the Vancouver Police Department issuing a warning to members of the community in which Patel would be integrating via a community facility.
As per the VPD at the time of the issuance, Patel was banned from purchasing or possessing alcohol, computers, cell phones, drugs, or being in the company of any females under the age of 18 unless they were accompanied by an adult. Patel was also banned from being near day cares, parks, schools, swimming pools, or recreational centers unless in the presence of another adult. Police asked members of the public to call 911 if they witnessed him in violation of any of his conditions.
Now, as first reported by Karen Finlay of Women Are Human, Patel’s long-term supervision order has been extended for one more year due to a continued risk of offending.
According to Finlay, a Parole Board of Canada decision issued on March 23 says that Patel has “displayed a significant amount of problematic behavior” in his periods of incarceration, resulting in “numerous charges and placements in segregation.” It continues that Patel has a “poor conditional release history,” and has had those releases suspended for breaching conditions and reoffending. Patel has apparently also tried to escape to the United States, despite the fact he was previously deported to Canada for committing crimes there.
The Parole Board ends that Patel is “considered to be a high risk for general recidivism, typically for property-related offending and breaches of trust, a moderate risk for violent recidivism and a moderate-high risk for sexual offending.”
Patel’s conditions while in the community continue to include restrictions on access to the internet, access to children, access to areas where children or prostitutes are present, and other general rules such as no consumption of drugs or alcohol.
It is not known whether Patel is in a community facility intended for men or women, but Canada is notorious for respecting self-identification, even for the most high-risk male offenders.
In September 2021, a violent male criminal was placed in a women’s jail during his trial after abruptly, and secretly, claiming to be transgender.
Yostin Murrilo, 25, was responsible for the 2018 murder of Rhoderie Estrada. Murillo had broken into Estrada’s Toronto-area home with an accomplice, looking to rob the residence. But finding the mother-of-three inside, Murillo instead sexually assaulted her, the heinous crime being committed while Estrada’s young daughters were sleeping just meters away down the hall.

When the woman continued to resist, Murillo and his accomplice bludgeoned her in the head multiple times with a metal bar ā leaving her face unrecognizable to her husband when he came home later that night from work to discover her body.
It is unclear if Murillo had ever identified as a woman prior to being arrested for Estrada’s murder, and the criminal’s lawyers requested the court not reveal his gender status and continue to use masculine pronouns for him throughout the trial. Murillo’s no-questions-asked claim of being transgender was only used for the purposes of jail placement, which was also hidden from the court.
In Canada, both the provincial and federal levels allow male convicts to demand transfers to women’s prisons and community facilities based on self-declaration, often regardless of their physical anatomy or legal identification documents.
