KAWARTHA LAKES-The Repeat Offender Parole Enforcement (R.O.P.E.) Squad is looking of a violent sexual offender who they say could be anywhere in Ontario.
Thomas Robichaud is wanted on a Canada Wide Warrant as a result of his breach of a Long Term Supervision Order. He is described as an Indigenous male, 44 years of age, 5’7” (170cm), 201 lbs (91kg). He has long brown hair tied in a pony tail and green eyes. He has a tattoo on the back of his left hand of an Eagle.
He is currently bound by a Long Term Supervision Order relating to several violent sexual related offences including Sexual Assault on children, Forcible Confinement, Child Luring and Distributed/Sell Child Pornography.
The 43 year old admitted he lured a minor online for sex when he pleaded guilty in May 2016 to child luring and possession of child pornography. He had previously received a pardon for two sexual assault convictions against young boys, which was rescinded four days after the guilty plea according to the Toronto Star.
In December 2017 he was declared him a dangerous offender. Robichaud, who has spent the equivalent of seven years in custody since he was charged was ordered to spend an additional 30 days in custody. The court also imposed a 10-year Long Term Supervision Order.
Robichaud is known to frequent the city of Toronto but could be anywhere in the Province.
Anyone having contact with this offender or information in regards to their whereabouts is asked to contact the Provincial R.O.P.E. Squad at 416-808-5900 or toll free at 1-866-870-7673 (ROPE) or Crimestoppers at 1-800-222-8477 (TIPS) or call 9-1-1.
