The Regina Police Service is issuing a public advisory about a man who is considered to be a high risk to re-offend sexually.

As of Jan. 13, 29 year-old Christopher Jacob Boerma resides in the Rosemont–Mount Royal neighbourhood of Regina. Police say he is subject to conditions of supervision until February of next year.

Police add this information is intended to enable members of the public to take suitable preventative measures, and make informed decisions, in regards to possible contact with Boerma, and “not to embark upon any form of vigilantism or other unreasonable conduct directed at this individual.”

Boerma is described as a white man, 29 years old and six-foot-six-inches tall, weighing about 190 pounds with a thin build.

According to RPS, Boerma has a criminal history which includes sexual offences and has a history of reoffending as an adult.
