A high risk sexual offender is moving to Kelowna, Mounties announced Friday.
Timothy Everett Rahm, 36, was released from a federal corrections institution and will be residing in the Okanagan, effectively immediately.
Rahm—a five-foot-five, 137 pound Metis man with brown hair and blue eyes—was convicted in April 2005 of sexual assault with a weapon in an Alberta court.
According to documents, Rahm forced himself on a prostitute who had attended his residence to perform a sexual service. The cost was $500, but when she arrived and asked for payment Rahm handed her a wad of Canadian Tire money instead.
She reportedly told him that wouldn’t work, and he responded by threatening her with a knife and forcing himself on her.
Rahm is currently bound by a Recognizance of Bail, is being supervised by the Kelowna Probation
Office and is being monitored by the Kelowna RCMP. Mr. Rahm must abide by various court ordered conditions of his release including the following:
