    Forty-four year old Stanley Lee Porter currently serving a long-term supervision order following a conviction for sexual assault.
     
    Police say the two-time federal offender did not return to his halfway house Friday night and is wanted Canada-wide.
     
    Porter is described as Aboriginal, five feet three inches tall, 180 pounds and was last seen wearing a dark blue hooded jacket and blue jeans.
