Repeated domestic abuser slated for bail hearing in St. Catharines, Ont.
Niagara Regional Police have made good on a promise to transfer a wanted man sitting in a Newfoundland jail back to Ontario.
Adam Budgell is due in a St. Catharines courtroom Wednesday morning to have a bail hearing. He is facing charges of sexual assault, forcible confinement, assault and choking.
His transfer comes one week after CBC News published a story with the alleged victim in the sexual assault, who was concerned Budgell would be allowed to leave the jail in Bishop's Falls, N.L., at the end of his sentence.
He had been serving time in Newfoundland for a separate assault on another former romantic partner, which predates the charges in Ontario.
Budgell has a lengthy criminal record, filled with assaults against women.
It's alleged he punched and choked a woman at her home in Welland, Ont., last October before raping her.
Budgell left the scene before police arrived, and wasn't picked up until three months later in his hometown of Bishop's Falls, where there was a prior warrant for his arrest.

A Saskatoon man will be back in court later this month to be sentenced for trying to arrange a sexual liaison with a mother and her 11-year-old daughter.
Brendan Dewayne Olynick was found guilty March 1 in Saskatoon provincial court of inviting sexual touching of a person under the age of 16.
In a written decision, Judge Sanjeev Anand rejected Olynick's claim that it was fantasy role playing and that he had only wanted to have sex with the mother.
Olynick had advertised on the website Craigslist in December, 2017 seeking a mother and daughter willing to meet. An RCMP officer working undercover replied to his ad.
"Mr. Olynick's position is that he engaged in these communications with the police officer in order to facilitate a sexual encounter with her, not her child, and that the arrangement concerning the child constituted fantasy role play," Anand wrote.
Olynick exchanged numerous emails and texts through that December, going so far as to meet with a Saskatoon police officer posing as the mother. He is wary throughout the texts, at one point writing, "There isn't gonna be a camera crew waiting is there ha ha? I'm excited."
After his arrest, Olynick claimed that the sexual communications he engaged in were aimed at arousing the mother.
Judge Anand did not accept his defence.
Olynick is back in court March 28.

A sexual assault includes any non-consensual contact of a sexual nature. York Regional Police encourages victims to report incidents of sexual assault, including historical offences. There is no statute of limitations for sexual offences and offenders can be prosecuted well after the date of the offence. York Regional Police understands that while sexual assaults often cause long-lasting trauma, survivors may have difficulty speaking about incidents with friends, family members, or police officers. We want to bring sexual assault cases to a resolution by conducting professional and thorough investigations, while also providing assistance and the resources necessary to support victims during this period of recovery. If you are the survivor of sexual assault, you can report the incident online if:
• You are not in immediate danger
• The person who assaulted you is not present
• There is no evidence present that may be collected by police (blood, semen, saliva, etc.). Evidence can be collected for up to 12 days after the sexual assault has occurred
• You have access to a private email address, to which the suspect does not have access
If someone is not ready to report, however is seeking support, please contact York Region Victim Services victimservices-york.org or the Women’s Support Network womenssupportnetwork.ca.
