Surrey RCMP has issued a public interest warning under the Privacy Act of Canada regarding a dangerous sex offender who poses a high risk to re-offend.
Brian Abrosimo was released from prison on November 23, 2023 in the Lower Mainland and is residing in Surrey.
Abrosimo, 61, completed an 18-year prison sentence for sexual assault, kidnapping, unlawful confinement, assault with a weapon, sexual assault with a weapon, and forcible confinement in 2020 at which time he was placed on a 10-year Long Term Supervision Order which expires in October 2030.
Abrosimo poses a risk of significant harm to the safety of adolescent and adult women, including strangers, and acquaintances.
He is bound by the terms of his Long-Term Supervision Order which includes a number of conditions. Abrosimo is to abide by a curfew and he will have an electronic supervision agreement.
Surrey RCMP informed that it will be working in partnership with the Correctional Service of Canada’s Community Corrections and other stakeholders to monitor Brian Abrosimo’s progress.
Surrey Mayor while expressing outrage at the release of this offender said in a statement, “It is outrageous that a convicted violent sex offender that is deemed to be at a high-risk to re-offend is being released into Surrey, a city that has more children per capita than anywhere in the province. Brian Abrosimo is a child predator that raped an 11-year-old girl in Langley. A judge called Abrosimo’s offences ‘the most heinous and grave crimes known to our society’ and it is reprehensible that this dangerous sex predator is being released into our community. Abrosimo’s release into Surrey is yet another blatant example of what is wrong with our justice system. I ask that our residents to be extra vigilant and take safety precautions, as Abrosimo poses a significant risk to children and women in Surrey.”
