A former massage therapist who pleaded guilty to a string of sexual assaults has had his day parole revoked.

A former massage therapist who pleaded guilty to a string of sexual assaults has had his day parole revoked.

Mark Donlevy is serving a nearly 10-year sentence for nine sexual assaults between 2004 and 2016.

According to the Parole Board of Canada decision, Donlevy consistently challenged the conditions of his supervision and release, which included restrictions from finding employment or volunteering in positions that involved him being alone with women.

The parole board says on multiple occasions, Donlevy created online dating profiles to meet women without the consent of his parole officer.

“More concerning is that soon after your release on day parole you created a profile on a dating website and met a female who you started a relationship / friendship with,” the April 3 decision says.

“Despite this serious breach your release was maintained. The concerns raised in this meeting were dismissed by you weeks later when you again created another profile on another dating website.”

Donlevy’s lack of ownership over these actions is especially concerning because it directly relates to some of his offenses.
