Police Thursday issued a warning to the public about a high-risk sex offender living in a Vancouver half-way house.
Brian Keith Solberg, 67, was convicted of forcible confinement, sexual assault with a weapon and a number of other related offences. He served his sentence and was released on a peace bond, which included certain conditions, put in place as a preventative measure to protect the public. Solberg subsequently breached those conditions and is currently serving a four-year sentence.
He has been assessed at a high-risk of reoffending and poses a risk of significant harm to the safety od teenaged and adult women, including strangers and acquaintances.
