Police continue to search for Timloh “Butchang” Nkem, convicted in September 2014 of a sexual assault in Saskatoon dating back to Jan. 1, 2012.
He was scheduled to be sentenced on Oct. 31, 2014, but never appeared in court.
The Crown had argued for Nkem to be taken into custody when he was convicted, but the judge ruled against it.
A bench warrant was issued for his arrest after he failed to appear. Nkem is currently wanted on a Canada-wide warrant.
Police said a number of tips have come in since then from across the country regarding Nkem’s whereabouts.
