Warning to Nova Scotia Residents (Especially Halifax) Who Don't Watch the News.

A high-risk offender convicted of sexual assault in Alberta and who is facing similar charges in Nova Scotia is being allowed to move again, this time to Halifax. On Friday, Halifax Regional Police said 42-year-old Jamie Alan Goreham is now in the Halifax area. Police say he has been assessed as a high risk to reoffend

Hide yo' kids, hide yo' wife. Police services in Halifax are letting down the residents it's sworn to protect by allowing this highly dangerous convicted sex offender to move from a small town with a population of approximately 7,000 to a college city of 400,000.

I have no doubt that this monster will be harder to track and no doubt have a larger array of victims to pursue.



Jamie Alan Goreham is at a high risk to reoffend, and in the past he has been convicted of sexual assaults on children as young as 14, or even younger.

I have many nieces, nephews, etc in Halifax who walk to school everyday, or walk to activities in their neighbourhood. I know there are probably other monsters in the area, as there are everywhere, but at least a person can memorize this persons face and be aware.

Halifax is not a friendly city towards sex offenders. I"ll be very surprised if he doesn't end up in police custody just to protect him from people who will actively try to find him.

That would be the best case for everyone I think.

I take its that its not normal to keep their identity secret over there then?

a reply to: PhyllidaDavenport

Why would you keep a dangerous sex offender's identity a secret if he's just living in your community waiting to face more charges?

a reply to: Atsbhct

Dude, thanks for the news flash. I'm going to share it with my wife and kids.

All that scum seems to like to visit the valley......

Cheers from N.S.!

Yeah, make sure to flash his picture around. Just in case.

Cheers!

Nope.

Canada has very strict laws about sex offenders informing the community and the RCMP do a good job of keeping people in the loop as well.

I honestly don't think I've heard of one slipping through the cracks in a really, really long time.

I'm not trying to be alarmist at all, just cautionary.

Dangerous offender Michael Ray O'Brien attempted to start a relationship with a woman who had young son last year after he was released with conditions that he never associate with anyone under 18. He was known for preying on the children of family and friends, and manipulating situation where he could be alone with their children.

The police caught on, so good on them, but it may have been a close call, we don't know.

Pardon my french everyone, but...


I hope the sick son of a ***** gets caught walking past a school yard and gets tossed back in the slammer for breaking probation.

And then I hope he gets raped within an inch of his life in prison, ripped wide open from stem to stern.

These f***ing b*****ds don't deserve to breath the same air that we do.

Which I agree with, caution is the most important thing to do when faced with people such as this.

Got to love the justice system,lock people up for life over a plant and yet these freaks get back into society where they can continue preying on the week and innocent......more proof the asylum is run by sickest in our society...

I personally am a fan of the Drawn and Quarter'd method for rapists and child molesters, and animal abusers.
But that's just me.

Truthfully I have never experienced the RCMP do a good job of much of anything.....
Watch out for your kids people....

Where they were housed was secret to my knowledge until recently in the UK although their names had to be on the Sex Offenders List

This is demonstrably untrue, they are some snappy dressers.

I've had both good and bad experiences with them, but not for stuff like this. I was abused as a child and if it weren't for the RCMP I could be dead or the abuse would have lasted a lot longer than it did.

Now that's anecdotal I know, but when it comes to this topic in particular, I won't fault the RCMP on what they've accomplished. Even just recently they broke up a child porno ring, I think like..20 people got arrested or something?

Just a doubt, is this something the police is responsible for?

Let's hope someone accidentally falls on him with a plugged in chainsaw. That would work for most 'normal' people. Don't cha think?

a reply to: ArMaP

Yes, absolutely. The RCMP have final say when it comes to the whereabouts of offenders on probation, and sometimes those awaiting court dates.
