A violent convicted sex offender, who poses a high risk to re-offend, is living in a Surrey halfway house after being released from prison Nov. 23, the RCMP warned.
Brian Abrosimo, 61, spent more than 14 years in prison for violent attacks, including the kidnapping and sexual assault of an 11-year-old Aldergrove girl in 2004.
After completing his entire sentence, he was placed under a 10-year Long Term Supervision Order (LTSO), which expires in 2030.
B次元官网网址淎brosimo poses a risk of significant harm to the safety of adolescent and adult women, including strangers, and acquaintances,B次元官网网址� said Surrey RCMP spokesperson Sgt. Tammy Lobb.
Abrosimo has spent the past few years living in halfway houses, known as Community Residential Facilities (CRF), or the more strictly regulated Community Correctional Centres (CCCs), and at times, has been sent back to prison after disturbances or violations of his LTSO.
The Surrey warning notes that Abrosimo was released from a prison on Nov. 23. He is now only allowed in the community under a number of conditions, including a curfew and electronic supervision.
B次元官网网址淭he Surrey RCMP will be working in partnership with the Correction Service of Canada, Community Corrections, and other stakeholders to monitor Brian AbrosimoB次元官网网址檚 progress,B次元官网网址� said Lobb.
Surrey Mayor Brenda Locke called the decision to release Abrosimo in Surrey B次元官网网址渙utrageous,B次元官网网址� given that she said it has the highest number of children per capita of anywhere in B.C.
B次元官网网址淏rian Abrosimo is a child predator that raped an 11-year-old girl in Langley,B次元官网网址� Locke said in a statement.

In 2004, Abrosimo used his van to knock down two children who were riding bicycles along 256th Street in Aldergrove, kidnapping an 11-year-old, taping her eyes and mouth shut, and driving her to Surrey, where he sexually assaulted her.
His victim managed to escape from the van and run to a nearby home.
Her friend was left behind in a ditch with cuts, bruises and a broken wrist.
A month before that, Abrosimo had kidnapped, handcuffed, and sexually assaulted a sex trade worker.
Abrosimo served his entire criminal sentence before being released, and has been back behind bars several times since 2020, when he was released under a strict LTSO. Any violation of his release conditions can send him back to prison until his case is reviewed.
