The Vancouver Police Department believes that compelling circumstances exist to warn the public about a high-risk sexual offender who is now residing in Vancouver.
Larry John Takahashi is currently serving a life sentence for multiple counts of rape, disguise with intent, and aggravated sexual assault, as well as forcible confinement and sexual assault with a weapon.
In a July 2016 report, the Parole Board of Canada assessed Takahashi as a moderate- to high-risk for sexual violent reoffending. In particular, he poses a risk of significant harm to the safety of teenage and adult females in the city of Vancouver.
Takahashi is subject to the terms of a day parole supervision order, and will be residing at a correctional halfway house in the City of Vancouver. He is 63-years-old, Asian, 5’9″ tall, 154 lbs., with short, grey hair and brown eyes. He normally wears prescription glasses.
As a condition of his parole, Larry Takahashi must abide by the following conditions:
- not to consume, purchase or possess alcohol
- not to consume, purchase or possess drugs other than prescribed medication and over the counter drugs taken as recommended by the manufacturer
- participate in a treatment program for personal and emotional issues and sexual deviancy
- not to purchase, acquire, possess or access pornography or sexually explicit material in any form or type of media
- no direct or indirect contact with his victims or any member of the victims’ families
- not to attend any college or university residential area, without the written permission of your parole supervisor
- must remain within the city proposed by Correctional Service Canada unless pre-approved by your parole supervisor
- a curfew from 9:00 p.m. to 6:00 a.m., except for work-related reasons and only with your parole supervisor’s written agreement
- not to pick up or convey any female passengers while driving
- not to own, use or possess a computer, or any technological device that would allow unsupervised access to the Internet
- immediately report all intimate sexual and non-sexual relationships and friendships with females to the parole supervisor
Anyone witnessing Larry Takahashi in violation of any of these conditions is asked to call 9-1-1 immediately.
