The Sun reported Monday in an exclusive story that Desousa had undergone gender reassignment surgery and received DD breast implants.

Formerly Adam Laboucan, Desousa raped a three-month-old boy in British Columbia and was just 17 when a court declared him a dangerous offender.

Many readers were infuriated that the now 33-year-old had gotten implants on the public’s dime.

But Corrections Canada said they don’t cover breast implants.

“Non-essential health services, including breast implants for cosmetic purposes, will be at the inmate’s expense, including consultation fees, and at the discretion of the institutional head, any associated escort costs,” the service said in a statement.

The statement added: “Sex reassignment surgery is considered during incarceration when a qualified health professional in the area of gender dysphoria has confirmed that the inmate has satisfied the criteria for surgery, as set out in the World Professional Association for Transgendered Health’s Standards of Care for the Health of Transsexual, Transgender, and Gender Nonconforming People.”
