Man held briefly at White Rock hospital in 2022 has been remanded to psychiatric facility

A man who was briefly held in White Rock's hospital two years ago in connection with criminal harassment of women he believed were his"spiritual brides" has had his appeal of an order to remain in custody at a psychiatric hospital dismissed.

The pair met when Bentley was 21 and the victim was 18, it continues. Following a brief romantic relationship, Bentley was handed a one-year peace bond; court-ordered not to contact the woman, following a report that he'd threatened her. In 2012, he was conditionally discharged into the community – again, with a no-contact order – and was absolutely discharged two years later.

Online, he posted hundreds of disturbing videos in which he detailed thoughts of killing women he fixated on,"committing mass killings, raping and killing children, and wanting to die," the judgment continues. Evidence heard by the review board included a psychiatrist's opinion that Bentley's behaviour was"escalating," and that"the threat Mr. Bentley poses towards women he fixates on was significant as was the psychological harm he has caused."
