A British Columbia man, declared a long-term offender following the abduction of a three-year-old child, is appealing his seven year sentence.
Randall Hopley was sentenced in November for his role in the September 2011 kidnapping of Kienan Hebert from the Hebert home in Sparwood, B.C. Following an RCMP search for the missing child lasting four days, Hopley returned Kienan to the family’s home.
Hopley has a history of sexually abusing children but Kienan was not assaulted during his time with his abductor.
In an interview with CTV, Paul Hebert, Kienan’s father, said he’s shocked by the sentence appeal. Hebert says he has forgiven Hopley, but he is worried the long-term offender will hurt others.
Paul Hebert says Kienan is doing well but continues to talk about the abduction.
