Vancouver police looking for high-risk sex offender who left halfway house

VANCOUVER – The police in Vancouver are looking for a man they describe as a high-risk sex offender who failed to return to his halfway house.

A news release says 44-year-old Gerald Richard McLean has been living in a halfway house after completing a two-year sentence for sexually assaulting a young child.

McLean also has a previous conviction for sexually assaulting a teen girl.

A Canada-wide warrant has been issued for McLean’s arrest.

Police say McLean is considered a high risk to re-offend.
