Karl Toft
Canadian convicted sex predator
Karl Richard Toft[1] (June 30, 1936 – April 28, 2018) was a convicted Canadian sex offender and pedophile. He was born in Fredericton, New Brunswick. He committed an estimated 200 sexual assaults while working as a guard at the Kingsclear Youth Training Centre in Kingsclear, New Brunswick.
Toft was thought as one of Canada’s worst sex offenders.[2] Toft was convicted of 34 sex-related charges and sentenced in December 1992 to 13 years in prison.[3] In 1994, Toft appealed the sentence but lost. He served 11 years of his sentence and was freed.[2] He was represented by Daniel Watters, who maintained that two-thirds of the allegations were untrue.[3]
Toft died on April 28, 2018 from lung cancer in Edmonton, Alberta, aged 81.[4]
