About Paul Bernardo

Paul Kenneth Bernardo (born August 27, 1964), also known as Paul Jason Teale, is a Canadian serial rapist and serial killer dubbed the Scarborough Rapist and Schoolgirl Killer. He initially committed a series of rapes in Scarborough, Ontario, a district of Toronto, between 1986 and 1990, before meeting Karla Homolka, with whom he committed rape leading to the death of her sister Tammy, followed by two murders in 1991 and 1992. After his capture and conviction, Bernardo was sentenced to life imprisonment and was declared a dangerous offender, making it unlikely that he will ever be released from prison. Following his conviction, Bernardo confessed to ten more rapes committed a year before the spree officially ascribed to the Scarborough Rapist. Homolka was given a lighter sentence in exchange for testifying against Bernardo as part of a controversial plea bargain; she was released from prison in 2005. Bernardo has been denied parole three times. Karla wanted to "give Tammy's virginity to Bernardo for Christmas"; according to her, Bernardo was disappointed that he was not Karla's first sex partner. Repulsed, Bernardo began to call his mother a "slut" and a "whore"; she reciprocated by calling him a "bastard from hell." Later, after growing weary of his domineering behaviour, Bernardo's first girlfriend left him for one of his friends.
