High-risk sex offender back in custody after arrest at Regina home

The subject of a recent public disclosure notice from the Regina Police Service is back in custody and is no longer living in the Queen City.

In a media release Monday, police said Jason Paul Thorn was arrested at the house where he was living in the Heritage neighbourhood.

The police said the arrest of the convicted sex offender was not the result of a new criminal offence.

“Thorn’s arrest was the result of a mandatory suspension warrant, issued by Correctional Service Canada,” the media release said. “The reason for the suspension was a change in Thorn’s assessment, indicating an increase in risk and deteriorating behaviour.”
