PETERBOROUGH, Ont. – A judge in Peterborough, Ont., is set to rule today on whether a man convicted in an attack on a 12-year-old girl will be declared a dangerous offender.
Stanley Tippett was convicted two years ago on seven counts – including kidnapping, sexual assault and sexual interference – relating to the attack in August 2008.

The Crown wants to have him declared a dangerous offender.
The designation would mean Tippett could be jailed indefinitely.
If the judge disagrees with the Crown, Tippett would be sentenced solely on the convictions.
