Edmonton Journal has reported:

Denzel Dre Colton Bird, a 30-year-old convicted sex offender from Lethbridge, will live in Edmonton after his release from prison, Edmonton police said Thursday. Police described him as posing “a significant risk of harm to members of the community” in a news release.

Bird was convicted in June 2018 of aggravated sexual assault against a 25-year-old woman in Lethbridge. The attack took place in 2016, when Bird was 20. Police said the woman was hit with a weapon, dragged into an alley and sexually assaulted.

The injuries left the woman recovering in a Calgary hospital for four months. Bird is subject to a court order with conditions and will be supervised by Correctional Service Canada after his release.

He must live at a residence approved by Correctional Service Canada. His conditions also require him to follow a daily curfew from 10 p.m. to 6 a.m., unless his parole supervisor approves other hours in writing.

Bird is prohibited from consuming or possessing alcohol or drugs, except prescribed and over-the-counter medication. He must report all relationships and friendships with females to his supervisor. He also cannot associate with anyone involved in “criminal activity, gangs and/or the substance abuse subculture.”

Police said the warning followed consideration of related issues, including privacy concerns. “The Edmonton Police Service is issuing this information and warning after careful deliberation of related issues, including privacy concerns, in the belief that it is clearly in the public interest to inform members of the community,” the service said.

Anyone with information about Bird or his conduct in the community can contact police at 780-423-4567.

The Edmonton Journal listed two related stories: one about Bird’s expected residence in Edmonton after release, and another concerning a 74-year-old convicted sex offender with prior convictions for hijacking an airplane who was living in Edmonton.
