Lance Blanchard appeals sex assault conviction, dangerous offender designation

A man serving an indeterminate sentence as a dangerous offender is appealing both his sentence and the convictions in the high profile Edmonton sexual assault case.
Lance David Blanchard, 60, filed his application with the Court of Appeal of Alberta on Tuesday.
Court of Queen’s Bench Justice Eric Macklin ruled in March that Blanchard is a dangerous offender who poses a high risk of committing violent and sexual offences if released, and that he constitutes a threat to the public.
