Originally Steven was handed a Death Sentence, in which he would have remained on death row until his execution date, fortunately, his sentence was reduced to life imprisonment with the potential for parole after ten years. Many years later, Steven was released from prison on parole in 1969, but he would remain a convicted felon for about five decades. For that same amount of time, he would remain known as the Rapist and murder of Lynne Harper. After his release from prison Steven, who was 24 years of age, had his name changed and also moved to Guelph, Ontario. He began working at a millwright and he got married in October 1979 to his now wife, Marlene, and together they had three children. Up until this day Steven has never been charged
