A convicted sex offender with a long list of previous offenses will be released next week in Burlington according to Vermont Corrections officials.

Officials say Ryan Donald Aldrich will be released from prison next Wednesday and that his risk to re-offend is high.

The 46-year-old Burlington man was most recently serving a sentence for a 2014 conviction for aggravated stalking of a ten year-old girl at the University Mall. South Burlington Police say the former Subway employee followed the pre-teen from the food court and into a store and began asking inappropriate questions and touched himself inappropriately.

It was not Aldrich's first run in with the law. He has been charged with aggravated sexual assault in Vermont and has a slew of sex charges in New York.

Corrections officials say Aldrich will stay in a motel in the Burlington area and that he will be listed on the Vermont Sex Offender Registry. They say if he did re-offend, his most likely victims would be females between the ages of 6 and 21, both known and unknown.
