Nova Scotia RCMP issue fresh warning about sex offender

Police have issued a new warning about a high-risk offender following his appearance in Nova Scotia Supreme Court in Shelburne today.

Jamie Alan Goreham, 42, will go to trial in July on charges including sexual assault and sexual interference. The offences were allegedly committed in the Shelburne area in the summer of 2012.

Goreham was released last month from jail in Calgary, where he was serving time for sexual assaults and other offences. His criminal history dates back to 1991 and includes convictions for sexual assault and sexual interference.

Goreham has been assessed as a high risk to reoffend. Given that, police have issued two previous warnings.

The first was on Jan. 22, when Goreham was supposed to be living in Barrington. Seven days later, Halifax Regional Police issued the same warning when it was learned he was living in the Halifax area.

At today's court appearance, Goreham got permission to relocate to Barrington, so RCMP have re-issued their warning.

Goreham is on two years probation for his Alberta convictions. He's not allowed to have contact with children and must abstain from alcohol.
