There is anger and frustration in Surrey, amid revelations a violent sex offender who police say poses a high risk to re-offend has been released back into the community, despite concerning behaviour.
Brian Abrosimo was sentenced to 14 years in prison for a pair of horrific sex crimes in 2004.
In one case he used a van to knock down two pre-teen girls who were riding their bikes, before gagging and sexually assaulting one of them in a vacant lot. The month prior, he violently assaulted a sex trade worker, handcuffing and gagging her with electrical tape.
Abrosimo completed his sentence last November and was released in Surrey on a 10-year long-term supervision order with strict conditions, including living in a halfway house and staying away from children, prompting a warning from the RCMP.
