A Canada-wide warrant is out for a high-risk sex offender who failed to return to his Vancouver halfway house Friday night.
Forty-year-old Rene Troy Cardinal is serving a five-year sentence for sexual assaults.
Police say he was convicted of two counts in 2011 after manipulating women to get them alone, then violently assaulting them.

He was transferred to a Vancouver halfway house just one week ago.
Cardinal was also convicted of manslaughter in 1997.
He’s described as aboriginal, 5 ft. 11 inches tall with short brown hair and brown eyes.
He often wears dark-framed prescription glasses, and has tattoos of a Playboy bunny on his left hand and tribal art on his left forearm.
He was last seen wearing a black-and-white sweater, blue jeans, and white Air Jordan runners.
