"In addition, Mr. Gagnon has a lengthy criminal history and repeated failures to comply with the conditions of his release. His criminal record dates back to 1998 when he was just 14 years old, and includes sentences for 45 criminal offences, Mayer said. The latest sentence comes after Gagnon pleaded guilty to unlawfully confining the woman and robbing her. The victim was able to escape when another woman got into the elevator. As a result of his sentence, Gagnon will be banned from owning a firearm for 10 years and must submit a DNA sample.
