Police warn that sex offender resides in Vancouver

The Vancouver Police Department has issued a warning about the presence of 60-year-old sex offender Shaun Deacon in the city. Deacon is currently under a long-term supervision order for his offenses related to child pornography. Authorities have identified him as a significant threat to children, particularly boys, based on his criminal history. Standing roughly six feet tall and weighing 255 pounds, he is bound by court conditions that prevent him from being near children and accessing the internet. Police emphasize the importance of public vigilance and encourage citizens to report any violations of these conditions.

This warning highlights ongoing concerns about child safety in Vancouver. Deacon’s case underscores the challenges law enforcement faces in monitoring high-risk offenders. The community's awareness and swift reporting can play a crucial role in ensuring local children's safety.
