The following Wikipedia entry only scratches the surface of the dual horrors of this case: the incredible sadism of Homolka, and the extremity of the application in the case of both feminist victimhood mythology and male chivalry which allowed the serial murder investigation and prosecution to march forward with blindness towards female-perpetrated ultra-violence. To get an accurate picture of the Homolka travesty read the absolutely indispensable 1997 book, When She Was Bad: Violent Women and the Myth of Innocence, by Patricia Pearson.
WIKIPEDIA excerpt: Karla Leanne Homolka, also known as Karla Leanne Teale (born 4 May 1970 in Port Credit, Ontario, Canada), is a Canadian serial killer. She attracted worldwide media attention when she was convicted of manslaughter following a plea bargain in the 1991 and 1992 rape-murders of two Ontario teenage girls, Leslie Mahaffy and Kristen French, as well as the rape and death of her own sister Tammy.
WIKIPEDIA excerpt: Karla Leanne Homolka, also known as Karla Leanne Teale (born 4 May 1970 in Port Credit, Ontario, Canada), is a Canadian serial killer. She attracted worldwide media attention when she was convicted of manslaughter following a plea bargain in the 1991 and 1992 rape-murders of two Ontario teenage girls, Leslie Mahaffy and Kristen French, as well as the rape and death of her own sister Tammy.
Homolka and Paul Bernardo, her husband and partner-in-crime, were arrested in 1993. In 1995, Bernardo was convicted of the two teenagers' murders and received life in prison, the full maximum sentence allowed in Canada. During the 1993 investigation, Homolka stated to investigators that Bernardo abused her, and that she was unwilling accomplice to the murders. As a result, she struck a deal with prosecutors for a reduced prison sentence of 12 years in exchange for a guilty plea for manslaughter. However, videotapes of the crimes later surfaced and demonstrated that she was a more active participant than she had claimed. As a result, the deal that she struck with prosecutors was dubbed in the Canadian press as the “Deal with the Devil.”
Public outrage about Homolka's plea deal continued until her high-profile release from prison in 2005. Following her release from prison, she settled in the province of Quebec, where she married and gave birth to a boy. In 2007, the Canadian press received reports that she had left Canada for the Antilles with her husband, their baby and has changed her name to Leanne Teale.

You might want to update this record as she's now living a peaceful life in Guadeloupe with 3 children and a new name reported to be Leane Bordelais (also reported to be Emily Bordelais on the interwebs). Interweb reports also that she has a business for childrens apparel and is involved in teaching pre-school.
ReplyDeleteShe should not be allowed to teach preschool
ReplyDeleteShe should still be in prison. She should have been executed for all the women (YOUNG GIRLS) she tortured!
ReplyDeleteShe goes by Leanne Bordelais & lives in her husbands (Thierry Bordelais) native country Guadeloupe half of the year & Montreal, Quebec during the summer months. Specifically, they live outside of Les Abymes, Guadeloupe on the northern, hilly rural part of the island where few tourists go. She posted her children's names all over the internet. Noah is 7, Aurelie is 5 & Loic is 2. To see photos search "BabyCenter Wool Pics love.you.forever" She posted frequently under love.you.forever on BabyCenter & on Ravelry.com under knittingallnight. Her online persona is very deceptive. She tries to pass herself off as a doting granola mom who knits & makes homemade baby diapers. Until her exposure by journalist Paula Todd, she was living the good life in total anonymity in Guadeloupe, TEACHING ESL TO CHILDREN. Upon the discovery of her true identity as a rapist and serial killer of children, the school she was working for fired her (thankfully). Leanne Bordelais/ Karla Homolka is addicted to the internet because it allows her to hide her true identity & she can converse with others who do not know she is the infamous Karla Homolka, serial child rapist, torturer and killer. Apparently it is quite easy to find Leanne & Thierry's somewhat remote apartment building in Les Abymes, Guadeloupe. Thierry advertises home ESL lessons in the local Guadeloupe newspaper where he posts their location. This is how one reporter found them.
ReplyDeleteWhat's even more alarming is that when French journalist Marina Ladou recently tracked Leanne/Karla in Guadeloupe, she discovered that Leanne's criminal record showed up white as snow. She has two murder/manslaughter convictions that should have shown up in the French registry. (I suggest watching the excellent documentary called "Marina in Murderland by JavaFilms...if you can find it online. It was recently removed from YouTube). Who is pulling strings behind the scenes for this infamous serial killer? First thing that comes to my mind is Sylvie Bordelais. Her prison attorney and sister in law. Clearly Leanne's marriage into the Bordelais family afforded her special priviledges & open doors unavailable to other violent offenders. Karla Homolka living in anonymity, protected by her attorney sister in law, able to teach children in Guadeloupe. It's horrible to think about.
ReplyDeleteThe truth, as represented by Karla Homolka, is an embarrassment to corrupt intellectuals who promote anti-scientific "gender" theories. Ideologues will do whatever they can to suppress facts and replace them with their corrupt social constructionism-based fraudulent narratives. Homolka was the "boss" of this sociopathic torture-rape-murder team and that is a fact that must be censored by the "gender" theorists.
DeleteSo true!
DeleteSo true that the astonishing sadism of Paul and Karla made them a perfect couple. Karla's successful manipulation of politically distorted psychological theories to gain her freedom makes her an especially dangerous type of criminal. The prosecution of Homolka represents perhaps the most perverse use of politically correct ideological "theories" in a murder case that has ever occurred. Yes indeed -- they made "the perfect couple."
DeleteBefore Karla an Undercover Cop was sitting at a bustop hoping Bernardo would show up. A That's where most of his rape victims were taken from. He arrived, she seen him under a bush, they gave chase, he ran and they lost him. I can't get my head around all the mistakes the cops made. Paul mocks the Green Ribbon Task Force in his cell, with cartoon picks from papers that made them b look daft. Never forget beautiful Lesley and Kristen. Let's never give Karla peace.
ReplyDeleteAfter looking at some of the comments on the Homolka case it seems there might be a bit of confusion -- among newcomers to the study of VbW (Violence by Women) -- over the issue of female agency. For those perplexed about questions of agency among sadistic female criminals it would be of interest to look at the sidebar labels “Sadism” and “Torture.” There are checklists of cases that have their own individual posts.
