A high-risk offender with a history of violence, including two sexual assaults against strangers, has been released from a custodial facility in Toronto.
Medhani Yohans, 35, was released on July 29 and his whereabouts are currently unknown, according to a Friday news release from police.
Yohans also has a history in Guelph dating back to 2017. Police said it’s not known if he will, or has, returned to Guelph.
