The Journal de Montreal recently mapped out the homes of everybody who has been accused of a sex-related crime over the last year. The map, which on the JDM site behind a paywall, can be zoomed in but not to the point of determining exact homes.
It's no big surprise to see that the supposed villains largely live in the poorest-parts of town, specifically The Point, Park Ex and the East End.
In Westmount there wasn't a single person accused or convicted of a sex crime over the last year, same for everything on the island west of St. Charles Blvd.
Here's a few snippets from the map: Click on the images if you need to see them bigger.

| Mtl North |
Montreal North contained what looks like possible the city's highest concentration.
 |
| TMR/Park Ex |
TMR had pretty much no accused sex criminals but its poorer-twin across Acadie has a fair number, a ratio of 10:1.
 |
| Verdun / the Point |
Verdun had about six convicted or alleged sex criminals. I would have assumed there would be more based on my knowledge of the east side of that town. The Point had several, including a few along Charlevoix, which is where Luc Magnotta once lived and Jolene Riendeau was abducted and killed.

| Davidson and Notre Dame |
And one curious little pocket at Davidson and Notre Dame had 4 in a tiny perimeter.
Nothing to be overly concerned about.
ReplyDeleteMontreal still has one of the lowest violent crime rates for a city its size, particularly when compared with the U.S.
Let's hope it stays that way.
You correctly point out that this is a map of those accused, i.e. not convicted. Why are you collaborating with the J de M's hate messages?
ReplyDeleteHow about the John's raided in massage parlours...you'd get Westmount and Outremont filled I bet !
ReplyDeleteOn April 5, 1906 there occurred the heinous murder of 5-year-old Edith Ahern in the district of Cote St. Paul. See:
