Former hostage Joshua Boyle will be released from a Canadian jail with strict bail conditions that include an electronic tracking bracelet.
Boyle and his wife, Caitlan Coleman of Stewartstown, Pennsylvania, were taken hostage in 2012 by a Taliban-linked group. Boyle's alleged crimes occurred between October 14 and December 30 after the couple returned to Canada. A publication ban bars reporting information that could identify the alleged victims.
Ontario Court Justice Robert Wadden issued the bail decision Friday.
Under the release conditions, Boyle will live with his parents, Patrick and Linda Boyle in Smiths Falls, Ontario. He must wear a GPS ankle bracelet that can track his movements.
