In a statement to the Star, Caitlan wrote, “I can’t speak about the specific charges, but I can say that ultimately it is the strain and trauma he was forced to endure for so many years and the effects that that had on his mental state that is most culpable for this.
“Obviously, he is responsible for his own actions,” she wrote, “but it is with compassion and forgiveness that I say I hope help and healing can be found for him. As to the rest of us, myself and the children, we are healthy and holding up as well as we can.”

It is alleged the offences happened in Ottawa between Oct. 14 and Dec. 30. The court records show there are two alleged victims, however, their identities are subject to a publication ban and can't be reported...
Boyle settled into his parents' home in Smiths Falls when he returned to Canada in October, but court records show that he lived at an address in Ottawa.
Boyle also faces one count of misleading a peace officer by trying to convince them that another individual was suicidal in order to divert suspicion from himself, according to court documents.

So these charges apply to what he did after their release, most likely to his wife and kids. She must have spoken to police. I'm glad she and the kids are alright. This was touch and go it seems, could very likely have ended in tragedy. What a lunatic!
