Convicted violent offender at high risk to re-offend released into Winnipeg: police

Winnipeg police have issued a public warning regarding the release of Marcel Hank Charlette, a convicted violent offender with a high risk of re-offending, who is now residing in the city. Charlette, also known by several aliases, was released from Manitoba's Milner Ridge Correctional Centre on Sunday after serving sentences for probation breaches.

Charlette's criminal history is extensive, beginning with a manslaughter conviction in 1991 for the death of a two-year-old. Over the past three decades, he has accumulated multiple charges and convictions for offenses including assault, aggravated assault, uttering threats, and weapons charges. He was previously released last year but was re-arrested shortly after for breaching his conditions.

Despite having undergone some sexual offender treatment in the past, police state that Charlette continues to pose a significant risk to the public. His release comes with stringent conditions, including a daily curfew from 9 p.m. to 9 a.m., a ban on possessing firearms and ammunition, and prohibitions on alcohol and illegal drug use. He is also forbidden from entering establishments that primarily sell alcohol and must report any romantic relationships with women to his probation officer.

Authorities are urging anyone with information about Charlette's whereabouts or activities to contact the Manitoba Integrated High Risk Sex Offender Unit, Winnipeg Police, local RCMP, or Crime Stoppers. The warning emphasizes that all individuals, including men, women, and children, are considered at risk.
