The Truro Police Service issued a media release on October 21 advising the public that Matthew William Rozins, a 43-year-old high-risk sex offender, is currently living in the Truro area of Nova Scotia. Police are monitoring his compliance with court-ordered conditions.
Rozins has a criminal history involving offences committed in several provinces, including sexual assault, trespassing at night, indecent acts, assault, and criminal harassment.
Under his release conditions, Rozins is prohibited from being in the presence of people under the age of 16.

He is also barred from having contact or communication with anyone under 16 unless supervised by a person approved by the court.
