A convicted rapist who fled a Kingston halfway house earlier this week was recaptured Thursday at a downtown mall in Cornwall.
David Maracle, 51, was arrested by Cornwall police without incident after some alert shoppers identified the fugitive at the Cornwall Square Shopping Centre, roughly 180 kilometres east of Kingston and 100 kilometres south of Ottawa.
He went missing from the Henry Trail Community Correctional Facility in Kingston on Sunday.
Cornwall police spokesman Const. Dan Cloutier said Maracle was arrested at 7:45 p.m. and did not put up any resistance.
The Brantford man was convicted in the 1990s for raping a 14-year-old schoolgirl.
He also has convictions for weapons possession, break and enter, assault, kidnapping and other sexual assaults.
