The man convicted of kidnapping a three-year-old boy in southeastern B.C. nearly two years ago is expected to appear in a Cranbrook courtroom today.

He insists he never harmed or sexually assaulted the young boy, but the Crown said Hopley has a criminal history that includes a sexual assault on a five-year-old boy in 1985.
Hopley was supposed to have a date set for a dangerous offender hearing after a psychiatric assessment was completed, but the defence is now asking for its own assessment.
