Police have issued a public warning about a violent offender that was recently released from jail.

Officials say Russell Gunville, 48, who was recently completed a 15-year sentence for sexual assault and uttering threats, poses a risk of significant harm to the community, especially to females involved in the sex trade business.

"He's had a very poor release record previously. This is his third sexual offence. And until he proves himself in the community we consider himself to be a danger," said Det. Dave Morrissey with the Edmonton Police Service.

Gunville is described as:

  • 6'2" tall,
  • 225 pounds with black hair and brown eyes
  • He also has numerous tattoos

Gunville will be residing in the Edmonton area and will be monitored by Edmonton police.

  • No public review of health care recommended in new report
