Public information and warning: sexual offender released
July 14, 2020
From Edmonton Police Service
In the interest of public safety, the Edmonton Police Service (EPS) is issuing the following warning; Laverne Waskahat, 43 is a convicted sexual offender and the Edmonton Police Service has reasonable grounds to believe Waskahat is of significant harm to the community and is a risk of committing a sexual offence against a child under the age of 16, therefore, there is a duty to warn the public.
Waskahat, who was recently released after serving a sentence for breaching a court order, will be residing in the Edmonton area. Waskahat has been ordered to abide by a probation order for two years in the community as part of the release and will be supervised by a Probation Officer.
Waskahat has a history of possessing, making and publishing child pornography involving male and female infants under 3 years of age. Waskahat is a risk to children when caring for them (i.e. while babysitting) and has also been known to take voyeuristic photos of infants in public. The EPS believes Waskahat may try to associate with someone who has young kids in order to groom them for offending behavior. Waskahat has also been known to frequent female public bathrooms (e.g. in shopping malls) in order to carry out voyeuristic offending behavior.

To keep the peace and be of good behavior;
