The Calgary attacks
Hicks' decision said a woman had left work March 18, 2006 when Jefferson approached her from behind and grabbed her by the waist, put his arm around her and said, "Come with me. Play cool."
He told her he had a knife to her back.
“She felt what she believed was his hand, not a knife in her back,” Hicks said.
She began to fight him and then tried to burn him with a cigarette she was holding.
She tried to knee him and he pushed her away after which he tried to push her to the ground.
“She screamed for help but no one was around. She broke free and ran to her work. Police were called. Mr. Jefferson ran off,” Hicks said.
Three weeks later, Jefferson attacked a woman as she left her home to go to work. He grabbed her from behind in a bear hug and told her not to scream or he would kill her.
When she begged him not to hurt her, he said he wouldn't if she was quiet. He took her to a secluded place and told her to get onto her stomach. He laid on top of her and rubbed against her. He told her to remove her pants.
He then forced sexual intercourse over three to four minutes, touched her breasts and tried to kiss her.
“When he was done, he asked for her ID but she said that she had none with her,” Hicks said. “He told her not to tell anyone, and he ran off.”
The third attack lasted 45 minutes.
On May 10, 2006, the victim was returning home from a 7-Eleven when Jefferson confronted her, holding a knife with a six-inch blade.
He came behind her and held the knife to her.
He touched her breasts and rubbed against her, eventually forcing intercourse for five to 10 minutes.
He then forced her into an alley at knifepoint.
“She feared he would kill her,” Hicks said. “He made sexually degrading comments; he carried out other degrading sexual acts.”
Jefferson eventually ran off.
Prior to the long-term order, Jefferson had a history of breaching court orders, including having a relationship with a 17-year-old female that he did not report to his probation officer despite a court order.
Hicks said he was involved in criminal activity and selling drugs from a young age and has had substance abuse issues.
