The Canadian Press, 22 Feb, 2015 02:32 PM

Vancouver police are looking for a high-risk sex offender who failed to return to his halfway house.

Thirty-nine-year-old Jason Bresnahan is now wanted on a Canada-wide warrant and anyone who sees him is asked to call 911 immediately.

Police say Bresnahan is a federal offender on statutory release after serving a five-year sentence for crimes including the sexual assault of a 12-year-old girl.

He is described as white, five feet 11 inches tall, 270 pounds with brown shaved hair and was last seen wearing a bright blue T-shirt.

Bresnahan has a tattoo of "Rae-Lene" on his forearm, "Alison" on his left wrist and the number 13 on his right hand.

Police say he has previous convictions related to child pornography, assaults, threatening and property crime and has been assessed as a high risk to re-offend.
