Police issue advisory about high-risk offender living in Regina neighbourhood

The Regina Police Service is advising residents of the Rosemont-Mount Royal neighbourhood that a convicted sex offender who is considered a high risk to reoffend is moving into the area.

The police issued a public advisory Tuesday to let the public know that 29-year-old Christopher Boerma is now living in the neighbourhood.

He has a record of sexual offences and a history of reoffending as an adult. According to police, during his time of incarceration, he has never completed programming designated to address his risk factors, nor has he made any progress in reducing his high risk to reoffend.

As conditions of his release, Boerma must:

Not possess or consume alcohol, cannabis or drugs that have not been prescribed for him;
Participate in assessments and complete programming for sexual offending, mental health or cognitive challenges as told to do so;
See a medical doctor, psychiatrist and/or psychologist as told to do so, and follow directions as to appointments, counselling, treatment and prescriptions;
Not have contact with victims of his offences;
Not have contact with anyone under the age of 16 unless he is in the company of an adult who has been approved for such purpose;
Not go to a public park where persons under the age of 16 years are present or can reasonably be expected to be present, except in the direct accompaniment and supervision of a person who has been approved for such a purpose, and not go to a public swimming area where persons under the age of 16 years are present or can reasonably be expected to be present, or a school ground, playground, daycare or community centre;
Not access or possess any pornography;
Be accompanied by an adult at all times when in the community as approved for such purpose;
Adhere to the rules and regulations of the approved residence as established by the care provider;
Not possess any firearms, ammunition, knives or bladed instruments except when using a knife to eat; and,
Not obtain or continue any employment, or be a volunteer in a capacity that involves being in a position of trust or authority towards persons under the age of 16.
