Montréal, May 21, 2010 - As part of Project Condor, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police and Correctional Service of Canada are joining forces in the active search for a dangerous offender who is illegally at large and wanted by police since May 13, 2010. The fugitive, 71-year-old Roger Tourigny, has been convicted of sexually motivated crimes. A Canada-wide warrant for his arrest was issued when he failed to report to his parole officer.
The police are asking for the co-operation of the public to help find Roger Tourigny, also known as Roméo Roger Tourigny and Jacques Patry. Our latest information indicates that the Trois-Rivières resident is possibly hiding in the Toronto area. Tourigny is 1.73 m (5’8’’) tall and weighs 84 kg (185 lbs). He is balding with grey temples, a grey moustache and brown eyes. He sports a tattoo of an Indian woman on his left arm.
Roger Tourigny is subject to a long-term supervision order valid for 10 years and serving his fifth federal sentence. He has a lenghty criminal record that includes convictions for child pornography, sexual assault, indecent exposure, prostitution, drug trafficking and invitation to sexual touching. This sex offender is believed to be at a high risk to reoffend.
