Hey there, time traveller!

WINNIPEG – A 35-year-old career criminal accused has admitted to kidnapping and raping a six-year-old girl from a West End playground last spring.
Greg Glen Hope pleaded guilty Wednesday to abduction and sexual assault causing bodily harm. His sentencing has been adjourned for preparation of a court-ordered report studying what, if any, factor his aboriginal upbringing should have on his punishment.
The report is based on a Supreme Court case which said some First Nations offenders should receive more lenient sentences based on hardships they endured in life.
Hope admits going to the Magnus Eliason Recreation Centre near Ellice Avenue and Langside Street, where the six-year-old girl was playing with several older brothers one Sunday evening last May. He tried to befriend the girl, then lured her to a nearby home where she was brutally attacked. She was eventually allowed to return to the park, where family members found her crying and missing one of her shoes. She was taken to hospital for treatment.
Hope told police he was drunk at the time of the attack and has little memory of it. No other details of the case were presented to court Wednesday.
As the Free Press revealed last year, Hope has an extensive criminal record and was released from jail only a few weeks before the attack.
