VANCOUVER (NEWS 1130) – A convicted sex offender is wanted Canada-wide after violating his long-term supervision order in Vancouver.
Forty-six-year-old Joseph Davis sexually assaulted a real estate agent in Winnipeg, Manitoba, after luring her to his home in 2007.
In 2001, he was convicted of assault causing bodily harm and forcible confinement of a female sex trade worker he invited to his residence.
Davis has served a four-year sentence for sexual assault, and is serving a long-term supervision order. He was staying at a halfway house in Vancouver and has failed to report. He is now wanted across the country for violating that order.
Police believe the four-time federal offender has left the Lower Mainland and is heading eastbound toward Manitoba. He could be driving a 2000 grey, four-door Mercedes C230 with BC plate DE5 64E.
Anyone who knows the whereabouts of Joseph Davis is asked to call 911 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.
