REGINA – The Regina Police Service is issuing a public safety advisory regarding Jared Charles, an offender with a high risk of reoffending sexually and/or violently, who is now residing in the downtown area of Regina.
In the interest of public safety, the Regina Police Service is notifying residents that Charles, a 27-year-old male, is currently living within the city.
This information is intended to enable members of the public to take suitable preventative measures, not to embark upon any form of vigilantism or other unreasonable conduct directed at this individual.
Charles is described as 6 feet tall, weighing approximately 183 pounds, with a medium build, black hair, and brown eyes. He sometimes uses the alternate spelling of "Jarrod" for his first name.
Charles has a criminal history, which includes violent sexual offences and kidnapping involving children. During Charles’ time of incarceration, programming to address risk factors was completed. However, investigators have concluded the programming is not sufficient to adequately address the risk factors that cause Jared Charles to reoffend sexually. They note that Charles has indicated that he is unable or unwilling to abide by conditions and that he is at a high risk to reoffend sexually.
To mitigate the risk to public safety and contribute to Charles’ rehabilitation, he is currently subject to a court order with the following conditions:
-He must live at an approved residence;
-He shall have no contact or communication with any person under the age of 16 years, unless done so under the supervision of an approved person;
-He shall not go to a public park, public swimming area, where persons under the age of 16 years may be present or can reasonably be expected to be present, or a school ground, playground, or day care centre;
-He shall not use a computer system for the purpose of communication with a person who is under the age of 16 years;
-He shall not obtain or continue employment, or be a volunteer in a capacity that involves being in a position of trust or authority towards persons under the age of 16 years;
-He shall have no contact with any prior victims;
-He shall not possess or consume alcohol or drugs that have not been prescribed by a medical doctor;
-He shall not enter or be in any place of which the main purpose is to sell alcohol, such as bars or liquor stores; and
-He shall not possess any firearm, ammunition, or any other weapon.
This information is shared to raise awareness about the presence of a high-risk offender in your community so that you may make informed decisions about entering in contact with this person. This information is not to be used to carry out unlawful and harmful acts against this person.
