It’s been a week since a convicted child sex tourist was released on several conditions from police custody, but we still don’t know where he’s living.
Christopher Neil was arrested after he flew in from Thailand, where he served time for sex assault, though he has not been charged with anything in Canada.
A judge later released him on strict conditions, including no contact with anyone under 16.
Neil used to live in Maple Ridge, and the mayor, Ernie Daykin, wants to know if he’s returned.
“If the person is in our community, I would like to know, and I think our community would like to know, and has the right to that information”.
BC Corrections says it may warn the public when offenders pose a high-risk, but given the high level of media attention in neil’s case, there will be no more public notification unless his circumstances change.
