A convicted sex offender considered a high risk to violently offend against girls and women has been released from Headingley Correctional Centre, police say.

Curtis Leroy George, 29, is expected to live in Winnipeg after serving time for failing to comply with the conditions of his probation.

George has a lengthy rap sheet of violent and sexual offences going back more than a decade, including convictions for criminal harassment, sexual assault, sexual interference involving a minor, and more.

He was handed a two-year sentence in 2018 for stalking, following and exposing himself to a woman over a lengthy period around her workplace and nearby buildings.
