Edmonton police say they believe a violent sexual offender released from custody on January 22 and living in the Edmonton area “is of significant harm to the community and is a risk of committing a sexual offence against a child under the age of 16.”
47 year old Laverne Waskahat was released after being taken into custody on Dec. 13 for failing to report to the parole officer.
In a media release, EPS said Waskahat has a history of possessing, making and publishing child pornography of boys and girls under the age of 3.
“She has committed such offences while in a position of care, has been known to take voyeuristic photos of infants in public and has been known to frequent public bathrooms “to carry out voyeuristic offending behavior.”
Police said Waskahat may try to associate with people who have young kids “to groom them for offending behavior.”
Anyone with any information about any criminal offenses allegedly committed by Waskahat can contact the EPS at 780-423-4567 or #377 from a mobile phone.
