Curtis Poburan, 51, will be residing in the Edmonton area after finishing his sentence and term of probation. Police said he is no longer bound by any conditions or form of supervision, but they believe is a significant risk to reoffend, particularly against someone under the age of 16.

Police recently received a complaint where he allegedly approached children in Gariepy Park at 174 Street and 54 Avenue.
