Surrey Police Service is advising the public that Marinus Willemse, identified as a high-risk sex offender, will be residing in Surrey and is considered to present a significant risk to women and children.
Willemse, 58, is described as five-foot-11 and approximately 225 pounds, with brown hair and blue eyes.
He is currently subject to a section 810.2 recognizance order that imposes strict court-ordered conditions. These include prohibitions on contacting his victims or their immediate families and on attending within 300 metres of their homes, workplaces, or schools.
He is barred from possessing weapons or sharp-edged instruments except for limited lawful purposes, and from consuming alcohol or non-prescribed drugs. He is also prohibited from possessing items that could be used for restraint unless specifically authorized for approved employment.
The order further requires Willemse to observe a curfew from 10 p.m. to 6 a.m., unless he has prior approval from his bail supervisor or is seeking emergency medical care.
He is not permitted to attend parks, swimming areas, playgrounds, daycare centres, school grounds, or community centres where children under 16 may be present. He is also prohibited from gambling without written authorization and from holding employment or volunteer positions that place him in a position of trust or authority over minors.
Police say Willemse will be electronically monitored, and investigators with the Surrey Police Service Major Crime Unit will oversee his compliance. Anyone who observes a breach of his conditions is urged to call 911 immediately.
The public notification describes Willemse as having multiple convictions for serious offences involving women and children and states he is believed to pose a significant risk.
Surrey mayor is deeply disturbed and angered by the news. Mayor Branda Locke says, while rehabilitation and second chances are important principles, concerns remain about repeat offenders who target vulnerable individuals. Calls have been made for federal authorities to review such cases to ensure community safety remains the top priority.
