Freed hostage Joshua Boyle faces 15 criminal charges - Freed Canadian hostage arrested for assault

If all this is true you can only imagine the mental damage five years in captivity has done to this man.

8 assault charges
2 sexual assault charges
2 unlawful confinement charges
1 count of misleading the police
Uttering death threats
Causing someone to take a noxious substance


And this is all since his release from captivity in October.

Yeah, I did find it odd too, but he only came home in October and between October and December he has been alleged to have carried out all these offences.

There is more to it I'd say, obviously being in captivity is bad but he was married to a woman with links to Bin Laden before he even went out there.

Well yep, get that, but if he was some kind of conditioned terrorist wouldn't he have been going out and committing some kind of terrorist attack?

The fact that he has been charged with some confinement offences sort of points to psychological damage to me. He was confined for 5 years himself of course.
