The RCMP and Winnipeg Police Service are warning the public to keep an eye out for a high-risk sex offender who is currently evading police.
Clay Byron Starr was released from federal custody on June 20 under conditions, one of which was that he reside in Sandy Bay First Nation. He is since in breach of those conditions and is being sought by the Manitoba High Risk Sex Offender Unit.
The 33-year-old Starr may also use pseudonyms such as Chad Crate, Clayton Starr, Richard Starr, Clay Richard, and Byron Richard.
“Starr is considered to be at high risk to re-offend in a sexual manner and females are at risk of sexual violence,” the RCMP release states. “He is considered violent and should not be confronted.”
Starr has been known to frequent cities like Winnipeg and Brandon, but RCMP warn he could be anywhere.
He is described as six feet tall, 262 pounds, with black hair and brown eyes. He has scars on the bridge of his nose and his chin, and lettering tattoos on his neck. Starr also has sleeve tattoos on each arm.
Anyone with information is asked to call the Manitoba High Risk Sex Offender Unit at 204-679-2257 or 204-471-2811, Crime Stoppers anonymously at 1-800-222-8477, or secure tip online at www.manitobacrimestoppers.com.
