Paul Bernardo: podcast appearances and interviews

Paul Kenneth Bernardo, born on August 27, 1964, is a Canadian criminal known for his involvement in multiple sexual assaults and murders. He gained notoriety as the Scarborough Rapist and Schoolgirl Killer for a series of rapes committed in Scarborough, Ontario, between 1986 and 1990. Bernardo's criminal activities extended beyond these attacks when he met Karla Homolka; together, they committed rape and were responsible for the death of Homolka's sister Tammy. The couple also committed two murders in 1991 and 1992. Following his apprehension and conviction, Bernardo was sentenced to life imprisonment and was declared a dangerous offender, which made his release unlikely. He later confessed to ten additional rapes perpetrated before the start of the documented spree. Karla Homolka, who cooperated with authorities by testifying against Bernardo as part of a plea bargain, received a lighter sentence and was released from prison in 2005. Bernardo has been denied parole three times and remains incarcerated. His criminal case remains one of the most infamous in Canadian history.
