A man convicted of sexual assault and aggravated assault has been released from jail.
Winston George Thomas, 36, was released from Headingley Correctional Centre on Friday.
Police say he is considered a high risk sex offender.
In March 2007, Thomas and two other men met up with a woman in Winnipeg. The three men took her to a home, drank liquor and smoked marijuana and kept her from leaving. Thomas then engaged in a sexual act with the woman.
He was later arrested.
A year later he was sentenced to two years less a day for sexual assault, which was then followed by three years of probation.
Thomas did participate in sex offender treatment programs while in prison but is considered a high risk to re-offend.
Police say women of all ages are at risk of sexual violence.
If you have any information about Thomas, you are asked to call the Manitoba Integrated High Risk Sex Offender Unit at 204-984-1888 or police at 204-986-6222.
