Are you sitting down? This is going to be such a shock!
The lead psychologist at a former trans kid clinic being sued into oblivion, that guy is a pedophile!
This story is disgusting, heartbreaking, stomach churning, and generally awful, but it's not the most shocking thing in the world by a long shot.
A child psychologist at the controversial Tavistock hospital trust remains free to practise despite being caught grooming a schoolboy for sex in a park.
That's right - he pled guilty but he's 1) still a free man and 2) can still practice psychology with patients.
Dr Ross Canade was entrusted to treat youngsters' mental health as lead psychologist at the Tavistock and Portman NHS Foundation Trust, which became infamous for its gender clinic helping children to transition to a different sex.
Canade was snared by a group of self-styled 'paedophile hunters' in an online sting after he sent sexually explicit messages to a youngster who told him he was aged 15.
Did I mention that he can still practice child psychology?
Canade pleaded guilty on July 29 to attempting to meet a child following sexual grooming. On Monday, he was handed a 12-month suspended sentence by a judge at Wood Green Crown Court.
Although he was spared jail, he was sacked by the Tavistock.
However the Mail can reveal that despite his conviction for child sex offences, Dr Canade has not been suspended by the regulator which oversees his profession.
Remember how the UK jailed all those guys who tweeted mean things about illegal immigrants and got thrown in jail?
What a time to be a pedophile, eh???
Canade did not work in Tavingstock's gender program; however, he "specialized in treating children and adolescents with mental health issues, known as CAMHS services."
Dude's entire job was to work with kids. And he's a pedophile. And he's not in jail. And he can still work with kids.
Sentencing Canade, Recorder David Osborne told him the boy had 'made it clear in the first conversation that he was 15 years old'.
The judge said: 'You established he was inexperienced, and there was discussion of having sex in a local park. You agreed to meet with the intention of having sexual relations afterwards.'
Zero jail time for trying to have sex with a minor!
Canade had worked at the Tavistock trust since August 2020 having previously worked there as a trainee in 2013 and 2014. Sources at the trust said none of its patients were involved in the offending.
A trust spokesman said: 'We can confirm that a former Trust employee has been convicted of offences involving a minor. As soon as we were alerted to the police investigation, we suspended the individual and subsequently he was dismissed.'
