A convicted sex offender who has been living in Vancouver since serving his prison term is back in police custody after allegedly breaching court-ordered conditions. Police say he posed a high risk for committing violence against women and sexual offences against children. Now, investigators want to speak to women who have had contact with him since his release in 2017. Investigators say Smith has violated several of his conditions and say Crown counsel has approved six counts of breaching a recognizance. He was not allowed to consume or possess alcohol or drugs, or possess a computer system, including a handheld device.
