Jason Mark Bard, a 35-year-old convicted sex offender, has been released from the Headingley Correctional Centre in Winnipeg, Manitoba. Bard has a serious criminal history, including convictions for sexual assault with a weapon, forcible confinement, and aggravated assault. His most notable offense occurred in 2015 when he violently attacked a woman, leading to a five-year prison sentence. Despite completing some treatment for sexual offending, he is deemed a high risk to re-offend in a sexually violent manner against adult women. Following his release, Bard is subject to a recognizance order that includes conditions such as reporting to probation services, abstaining from drugs and alcohol, and adhering to a curfew. The Winnipeg Police Service has issued a community notification to inform the public and encourage them to take precautions. They also cautioned against any vigilante actions or unreasonable conduct towards Bard. Anyone with information about him is encouraged to contact the Manitoba Integrated High-Risk Sex Offender Unit.
