The RCMP is asking the public to help locate a sex offender who stopped reporting to his parole officer.

Brook Makara is from Toronto and could be in Montreal, but investigators admit they have no real idea where he is.

Makara is known to use many false names including Brook Otis Makara, Jim Makara, Otis Brook Makara, Otis Brook Parkinson, Brook Otis Parkinson and Ryan Toms.

The 33-year-old has been at large since November 2012. He stands 1.8 m tall and weighs 91 kg (5'10", 200 lbs). He has brown hair and blue eyes, with a scar on his right forearm.

Makara was convicted in 2000 for aggravated sexual assault. Police think it's likely he will commit more sexual offences.

Anyone who has seen Makara is asked to call Info-Crime at 1-800-711-1800, or call the RCMP at 1-800-771-5401.



CLARIFICATION: An earlier version of this story claimed that in 2003, Brook Makara had exposed himself to a four-year-old girl in British Columbia and then tried to kidnap her. In fact, the charges of exposure were stayed and there was no kidnapping charge. Makara did plead guilty to obstruction.
