    Forty-four year old Stanley Lee Porter currently serving a long-term supervision order following a conviction for sexual assault.

    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.

    Police say he has an extensive criminal history stretching back more than two decades, including convictions for sexual assault and sexual interference.
