Police in Winnipeg have issued a public advisory about the release of a convicted sex offender.

24-year-old Thomas MacKenzie Anderson is a convicted sex offender, considered to be a high risk to re-offend in a sexual and possibly violent manner against all persons, particularly females.

Anderson was convicted after a July 2011 incident where he entered a home at night through a window. He robbed the female victim, prevented her from escaping, assaulted and sexually assaulted her. He was arrested immediately and was convicted in October 2013. He was sentenced to serve 8 years (less the 3 years and 2 months  pre trial custody credit)

Police say that Anderson will be released from Stony Mountain Institution today, February 9, 2018, and is expected to live in Winnipeg.

Anderson will be subject to a number of conditions upon his release and will be barred from consuming, possessing or purchasing alcohol or non-prescription drugs. He will also be placed on the sex offender registry for the next 20 years and be subject to a 10-year weapon prohibition.
