B.C. Corrections has issued a public notification regarding high-risk sex offender James Conway, 41, who plans to move to the City of Mission.

According to B.C. Corrections, Conway “has maintained a versatile pattern of sexual offending against female children in a predatory and opportunistic manner.”

His criminal history includes convictions for “sexual interference of person under 16,” “sexual assault,” “arson damaging property,” “fail to comply with disposition,” and “breach of recognizance.”

Conway was the subject of protests in the City of Abbotsford after police there notified the public that he had moved to the city last year. The halfway home in which he was living was also vandalized at least 15 times by vigilantes, including on one occasion that caused the roof to collapse, according to Abbotsford police.

The City of Abbotsford filed a lawsuit in November seeking to close the halfway house because it violated city zoning.

Conway is subject to close monitoring by authorities and 25 court-ordered conditions, including the following:

He must remain in his residence at all times and may not leave without supervision.

He is subject to electronic supervision.

He may not engage in any activity that involves contact with persons under the age of 18, including online communication.

He may not engage in any activities, volunteer work or employment that will put him in contact with any person under the age of 18.

He may not attend any public park, playground, school yard, daycare centre, community centre or public swimming area or any other site which offers activities for persons under the age of 18.

He may not wear, for any reason, any uniform which includes but is not limited to, Firemen’s uniforms, Correctional Officer uniforms, Search and Rescue uniforms, Police uniforms, Security Guard uniforms, Nurse uniforms, or any patch or insignia that represents these occupations.

He may not travel alone on public transit.

He may not consume alcohol or be in an establishment where alcohol is for sale.

He may not possess any weapons.

Anyone who observes Conway in violation of any of these conditions is asked to call their local police agency.
