Breast implants routinely cost as much as $10,000 depending on the type — and size.

Corrections Canada did not respond by press time to the Toronto Sun’s query on the ministry’s policies regarding gender reassignment.

In her profile, Desousa admits to acting selfish and impulsive when she committed her crimes and is “remorseful for what I’ve done.”

Desousa writes she’s looking for romance, intimacy and a partner “in it for the long haul.”

The convicted rapist claims to be a kind-hearted woman who loves singing, dancing and the arts. She adds she is proud to be a Native Catholic.

Desousa has a troubling history behind bars, a 2010 parole hearing heard.

During her time in the clink, she has been caught prostituting herself to fellow cons, using drugs and threatening to kill a female guard. She has been found with a knife and stabbed herself.

In 2008, the busty con married another inmate but may have since divorced him after his 2009 release.

During the 2010 hearing, the parole board refused Desousa’s release on the grounds of gender identity struggles, impulsive behaviour, violence and sexual deviance.

Desousa also admitted killing a three-year-old child when he was just 11 years old, although he was never criminally charged.

“He said he was not planning a life of crime, but he felt he had no way to control the flood of violent, murderous fantasies,” forensic psychiatrist Ian Postnikoff told Desousa’s dangerous offender hearing, adding these machinations could be turned against weaker people “with fatal consequences.”

Sexually abused when she was a child, the hearing heard that Desousa felt she had done nothing wrong.

But experts held out little hope that the one-time Adam Laboucan will be cured in the near future — if ever.

“He’s not a regular sex offender. I would be very concerned to hear that Laboucan would be released into the community in the near future,” Postnikoff said.
