A convicted child sex offender was arrested by Lethbridge police just hours after walking free from prison for allegedly violating the very court orders meant to protect children.
Police say 47-year-old James Robert George Martinac was released from custody at 7 a.m. on May 1 after serving four years behind bars for a disturbing list of child sex offences, including sexual interference, child luring, possession of child pornography, sexual exploitation and uttering threats.
But according to the Lethbridge Police Service, by 11:45 a.m., less than five hours later, officers allegedly caught Martinac at the public library using social media and viewing images of children online despite being under strict lifetime restrictions.
