A high-risk sex offender, who police say poses a risk of significant harm to the safety of teenaged and adult women, is residing in a Vancouver halfway house.

Brian Keith Solberg, 67, is a federal offender who was convicted of forcible confinement, sexual assault with a weapon and a number of other related offences, and Vancouver police say the circumstances exist to warn the public that he is living in the community.

Solberg is currently serving a four-year sentence for breaching court-imposed conditions related to a peace bond. The Correctional Service of Canada has assessed him as continuing to present a high risk for sexual and general re-offending.

Police describe Solberg as white, 5-11 and 218 pounds, with short, greying, brown hair and blue eyes.

As part of his statutory release, Solberg is bound by several conditions, including that he report all relationships with women to his parole supervisor, not meet with sex workers or frequent areas where they’re likely to be present and not possess or consume drugs or alcohol. He also must keep out of liquor-primary businesses and stay away from known criminals.

Anyone who sees Solberg in violation of any of these conditions is asked to call 911.
