City police are issuing a rare alert about a person they consider a high risk offender.
They say 31-year-old Alan Cory Esquega has been released following a prison term which resulted from a conviction for multiple charges including Aggravated Sexual Assault relating to a 2007 incident here in Thunder Bay.
They tell us he will be living in the Cummings Street area with a number of conditions.
Police stress while Esquega does present a safety risk they say his rights are protected under Canadian law and police will protect those rights if necessary.
