\n\tEdmonton police say they believe a violent sexual offender released from custody on Monday 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.”<\/p>\n
\n\tLaverne Waskahat, 47, was released on Monday after being taken into custody on Dec. 13 for failing to report to her parole officer.<\/p>\n
\n\tPolice said in a media release on Friday that Waskahat has a history of possessing, making and publishing child pornography of boys and girls under the age of 3.<\/p>\n
\n\tShe 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.”<\/p>\n
\n\tPolice said Waskahat may try to associate with people who have young kids “to groom them for offending behavior.”<\/p>\n
\n\tAnyone with information about criminal offences by Waskahat is asked to contact Edmonton police at 780-423-4567.<\/p>\n
