The Winnipeg Police Service is informing the public that a convicted sex offender, who is considered high-risk to reoffend against pre-pubescent and adolescent boys, is out of prison.

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.
