This comes just after the release of the so-called Motorcycle Rapist, John O'Brien, to a city halfway house which inspired an online petition.
Roger Ernest Joseph Roberge, 62, was recently released from the Atlantic Institute in Renous. He was completing a 12 year and 30 day sentence for forcible confinement and sexual assault in 2001.
Roberge is a convicted violent sex offender and is considered by police to be at high risk to re-offend sexually, and violently, against women and other vulnerable people.
Roberge will be living in Saint John, monitored by the Family Protection Unit of the Saint John Police Department. Roberge has a number of distinguishing features including some prominent facial tattoos.
