Police in Kingston, Ont., are alerting the public about the release of an offender who poses a risk to the community, particularly young girls.
Police say Paul Kubesch is currently serving a 10-year, long-term supervision order, and his release is contingent upon a large number of stipulations.
He is convicted of more than 30 criminal offences and has eight convictions of sexual assault, including one for the inappropriate touching of a four-year-old girl at a department store. He did not know the victim.
“There is a clear escalation in the pattern of your sexual offences,” the Parole Board of Canada noted in its decision.
“Historically, your offending has involved grooming and rapport building with both adults and the potential victim; the index offences appear to be a different pattern of offending where you acted more impulsively.”
“You appeared to engage in higher risk, more impulsive offending,” the board said.
“While there is a level of impulsivity involved with your offending, your offences involve a certain level of forethought and planning.
Kubesch is forbidden from being in areas where children may congregate, such as schools, parks and swimming pools.
He is also prohibited from being in the presence of children unless accompanied by a responsible adult who is aware of his criminal history, along with written approval from his probation officer.
Kubesch will be following a treatment program that focuses on the area of sexual deviancy, as well as undergoing psychiatric assessments.
He will be required to immediately report all sexual encounters and friendships to his parole officer, and cannot have a relationship with a woman who has a young child.
He is forbidden from possessing and consuming drugs and alcohol.
However, the board indicated it does not have faith that Kubesch will follow through with his conditions.
“Your stance of denial of the causes of your offending or otherwise minimizing your criminal history does not give the Board confidence that you will address outstanding risk factors with diligence.”
Kubesch has been ordered not to contact any of his victims or their families.
He will be residing in the Kingston area until September 2023, and his boundaries are Highway 401 to the north, Lake Ontario to the south, Rideau River to the east and Collins Bay Road to the west.
Police say Kubesch’s orders will be monitored by the Kingston Police high-risk offender unit and Correctional Services of Canada.
Kubesch is described as having dark hair, standing six feet tall and weighing 196 pounds.
Anyone with information regarding suspicious activity or potential breaches of Kubesch’s conditions is urged to contact Kingston police at 613-549-4660.
