The Manitoba Correctional Service has issued a public notification confirming that convicted sex offender Randall James Mousseau has been released from custody and is expected to take up residence in Winnipeg.
Mousseau, 39, is considered a high-risk offender with a history of violent sexual assaults against both adult women and adolescent females. His criminal pattern involves targeting vulnerable individuals in social settings where alcohol may be involved.
Criminal History and Risk Assessment
According to correctional authorities, Mousseau's criminal record includes multiple convictions for sexual assault and other violent offenses. The Manitoba Integrated High Risk Sex Offender Unit has determined that he presents a significant risk to reoffend violently, particularly against women.
Law enforcement officials emphasize that this public notification is not intended to encourage vigilante action, but rather to enable citizens to take appropriate personal safety precautions.
Conditions of Release
Mousseau will be subject to strict supervision conditions during his reintegration into the community, including:
- Close monitoring by correctional authorities
- Mandatory compliance with all court-ordered restrictions
- Regular reporting requirements
- Specific limitations on his movements and associations
Despite these measures, authorities caution that complete public protection cannot be guaranteed, prompting the decision to issue this community alert.
Community Response and Safety Measures
Winnipeg residents are advised to remain vigilant and report any suspicious behavior involving Mousseau to local authorities immediately. The public notification follows standard protocol for high-risk offenders being released into Manitoba communities.
Correctional officials stress that the release process includes comprehensive risk management planning, but acknowledge the legitimate concerns of community members when offenders of this nature are placed in residential neighborhoods.
