Sex offender released from prison, expected to live in Winnipeg
Glen Gregory Tyler Pozniak, 43, was released from Stony Mountain Institution on Thursday after serving a portion of his sentence for convictions of sexual exploitation; three counts of sexual interference; possession of child pornography; and making, printing, publishing, or possessing for the purpose of publication any child pornography. He is expected to live in Winnipeg.
According to police, Pozniak committed these offences against several victims while in a 'position of trust and authority which occurred over several years and consisted of ongoing sexually violent abuse.'
Police said Pozniak has a lengthy criminal record that also includes convictions of robbery, uttering threats, assault causing bodily harm, and assault of a peace officer.
Upon his release from prison, Pozniak will be subject to several conditions, including not consuming, purchasing or possessing alcohol or drugs; not being in, near or around places where children under the age of 16 are likely to congregate; and not being in the presence of any children under the age of 16 unless accompanied by an adult who has been approved by the court.
He is also subject to lifetime prohibitions of attending a public park or swimming area where someone under the age of 16 is present or is reasonably expected to be present; seeking any employment that involves being in a position of trust or authority towards anyone under the age of 16; and using the internet or other digital networks.
Police are providing this information so the public can take appropriate measures to protect themselves. Any form of vigilante or unreasonable conduct won't be tolerated.
Anyone with information on Pozniak is asked to call the Manitoba Integrated High Risk Sex Offender Unit at 431-489-8056. They can also call Winnipeg police, their local RCMP detachment, or Crime Stoppers.

Basketball tournament honours 14-year-old murdered in Toronto's east end
Social Sharing Dozens of young people came out Saturday for a memorial basketball tournament Saturday in honour of a local 14-year-old who was fatally stabbed in the city's east end earlier this month. The tournament took place at Père Philippe Lamarche — a French Catholic secondary school in Scarborough — to pay tribute to their former friend and classmate, Abdoul Aziz Sarr. The memorial tournament was organized by TAIBU Community Health Centre, where Sarr regularly volunteered. On July 5, late in the evening, Sarr was stabbed near a fast food restaurant near Eastern and Woodward avenues, according to police. He later died in hospital. Two 16-year-olds have been charged with second-degree murder in connection with the stabbing, Toronto police said earlier this month. "We couldn't really believe what happened," said 14-year-old Malik Tchecoim, who was at the tournament Saturday and said he knew Sarr. "The day before that happened we just saw him, we talked to him. And the next day we just heard about him passing away," he said. "It was a shock" Tchecoim said he and his friends, as well as the rest of Sarr's classmates, were saddened by Sarr's death, but the stabbing hasn't made him afraid of their neighbourhood. Still, he said his parents now ask that he check in with them diligently when he goes around town to be sure he makes it safely to where he's going. Brahim Nokour, project co-ordinator for TAIBU, remembered Sarr as a young person who was highly engaged in his community — including TAIBU's basketball tournaments. "He used to coordinate everything," said Nokour. "How could such a young person doing all this for his community tragically pass away?" This weekend's tournament was a way for TAIBU to not only honour Sarr's memory, but also to teach the importance of physical and mental well-being to youth and parents through workshops, said Nokour. It's part of a 12-week-long initiative promoting mental and physical health for Francophone youth. In response to this month's tragedy, Nokour said TAIBU organizers are trying to teach kids to "just be careful." "Instead of being out on the street, just hang out here, play basketball, socialize," he said.
