Sex offender released from prison, expected to live in Winnipeg
Glen Gregory Tyler Pozniak, 43, was released from Stony Mountain Institution on Thursday after serving a portion of his sentence for convictions of sexual exploitation; three counts of sexual interference; possession of child pornography; and making, printing, publishing, or possessing for the purpose of publication any child pornography. He is expected to live in Winnipeg.
According to police, Pozniak committed these offences against several victims while in a 'position of trust and authority which occurred over several years and consisted of ongoing sexually violent abuse.'
Police said Pozniak has a lengthy criminal record that also includes convictions of robbery, uttering threats, assault causing bodily harm, and assault of a peace officer.
Upon his release from prison, Pozniak will be subject to several conditions, including not consuming, purchasing or possessing alcohol or drugs; not being in, near or around places where children under the age of 16 are likely to congregate; and not being in the presence of any children under the age of 16 unless accompanied by an adult who has been approved by the court.
He is also subject to lifetime prohibitions of attending a public park or swimming area where someone under the age of 16 is present or is reasonably expected to be present; seeking any employment that involves being in a position of trust or authority towards anyone under the age of 16; and using the internet or other digital networks.
Police are providing this information so the public can take appropriate measures to protect themselves. Any form of vigilante or unreasonable conduct won't be tolerated.
Anyone with information on Pozniak is asked to call the Manitoba Integrated High Risk Sex Offender Unit at 431-489-8056. They can also call Winnipeg police, their local RCMP detachment, or Crime Stoppers.

Court of Appeal overturns N.S. man's sexual assault conviction
A Nova Scotia man's sexual assault conviction has been overturned because his case took too long to go through the justice system. Jamal Zaki was charged with sexual assault on April 13, 2022. After a provincial court trial concluded 22½ months later, he was convicted of the charge on March 25, 2024. The Supreme Court of Canada has set strict timelines for the completion of criminal matters in lower courts. In provincial courts, the so-called Jordan timeline calls for cases to be done in 18 months. Zaki's lawyer argued his conviction violated his client's rights under the Charter of Rights and Freedoms because the case exceeded the 18-month mark. But Judge Gregory Lenehan dismissed Zaki's application, saying much of the delay in the case was due to the defendant's actions. The judge specifically singled out a defence request to obtain notes from a therapist who treated the complainant and for a delayed start to the trial because of double booking in the courts. However, the Nova Scotia Court of Appeal disagreed with Lenehan's calculation. A three-member panel said the trial judge should have been paying more attention to the looming deadline. "There was no trial management undertaken to clear an earlier half-day of trial time, nor any consideration of breaking the trial time down into shorter segments in order to conclude sooner than February 26, 2024," the Appeal Court wrote. "Had any inquiry been made, the urgency of the situation would have been apparent." Once the Appeal Court determined that a large part of the delay could not be attributed to Zaki, it issued a stay of proceedings on the sexual assault charge.

Kilograms of meth found in ‘gift-wrapped packages' at Vancouver airport, CBSA says
The CBSA says officers seized 29 kilograms of methamphetamine from a traveller's luggage at Vancouver International Airport on July 18, 2025. (Handout) A traveller bound for Hong Kong was caught with 29 kilograms of methamphetamine at the Vancouver airport last month, according to Canada Border Services Agency. Authorities said the drugs were concealed in 'gift-wrapped packages' – some with cartoon elephants and other colourful designs – then stuffed into two suitcases. Officers intercepted the packages on July 18, the CBSA said. The agency estimated that amount of methamphetamine would represent approximately 150,000 individual doses. 'This seizure is another great example of the dedication and expertise of CBSA officers as they continue to work hard each and every day to prevent dangerous drugs from crossing our borders,' said Nina Patel, CBSA director general for the Pacific Region, in a statement. A 25-year-old Chinese citizen was apprehended and has since been charged under the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act. Shiyu Deng is facing counts of possession for the purposes of trafficking, possession for the purpose of exporting, and exporting a controlled substance. The CBSA said Deng was transferred into RCMP custody, where he remains pending his next court appearance on Wednesday.
