The Regina Police Service issued a public advisory Wednesday about a convicted sex offender who is deemed to be a high risk to reoffend.
Jason Paul Thorne, 46, is to move into a Heritage neighbourhood residence that will supervise and monitor his activities. He’s currently on statutory release and is to resume his long-term supervision on March 14 of next year.
Thorne is described as being 5-foot-9 and approximately 170 pounds, with a medium build, brown eyes and black hair.
In the advisory, the police said Thorne “poses a high risk for acts of sexual offending against female children. The prospects for reduction of his risk through treatment interventions are poor.”
Thorne faces a number of conditions during his release, including staying away from places where children under the age of 18 are likely to gather – such as schools, parks, swimming pools and recreational centres – unless he is accompanied by another adult.
He also must follow a treatment plan/program to be arranged by his parole supervisor in the areas of sexual deviancy and substance abuse, he can’t purchase or consume alcohol or other intoxicants, and he can’t purchase or access pornography or sexually explicit material in any form.
Anyone with questions or concerns about Thorne was asked to call the Regina Police Service at 306-777-6500 or their nearest RCMP detachment.
