Edmonton police are issuing a warning to the public regarding the release of a convicted sex offender.
EPS says 44-year-old Ryan White, who is a convicted violent sexual offender, will be living in Edmonton after he is released from prison.
EPS is issuing the warning to the public, as they have reasonable grounds to believe he will commit another sexual offence against someone while in the community.
In his previous offences, White physically and sexually victimized adult women, particularly vulnerable women, including sex workers. White has also physically assaulted a toddler and an older adult woman, according to EPS.
White has been described as around 6’3″, weighing 280 lbs, with brown eyes and brown hair.
With his release, he is subject to several conditions, which are as follows:
- He must live at a residence approved by his Supervisor and must not change that address until he has received written approval from his Supervisor.
- He must abide by a curfew of 12:00 AM to 5:00 AM daily unless a varied time is approved in writing by his Supervisor.
- He must not travel out of the City of Edmonton without written approval from his Supervisor.
- He is not to contact or attend areas where sex workers are known to be solicitated.
- He shall not consume or possess any alcohol or drug listed in the Schedules of the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act, excluding cannabis, any prescription drugs not prescribed to him or any other intoxicating substances.
- He shall notify his assigned Supervisor prior to entering any personal, sexual or intimate relationship, cohabitation, marriage or common-law relationship with any female and shall disclose his criminal history to the female.
EPS says that they are releasing this information to inform the public, noting that any form of vigilante action against White will not be tolerated.
If anyone has any information regarding White, they are asked to EPS at 780-423-4567.
