Rules have been tightened for a man who abducted and sexually assaulted an 11-year-old girl from Aldergrove after he made 鈥渋nappropriate and sexualized鈥� comments to female staff at the halfway house where he was staying.
In the future, Brian Abrosimo will be accompanied at all time by a 鈥渕ale staff member鈥� during brief outings from the halfway house where he has been living for over a year, according to the Sept. 27 written reasons released by the parole board.
He has also been ordered to stay away from the home of his victims
Abrosimo, 55, was sentenced to 14 years and four months in prison, followed by a 10-year supervision order for abducting an 11-year-old 91原创 girl from a rural Aldergrove road in 2004.
In August 2004, he used his van to knock down two children who were riding bicycles along 256 Street, kidnapping the 11-year-old girl, taping her eyes and mouth and driving her to Surrey, where he sexually assaulted her.
She managed to escape from the van and run to a nearby home.
Her friend was left behind in a ditch with cuts, bruises and a broken wrist.
Abrosimo was also convicted of handcuffing and gagging a sex-trade worker before violently assaulting and raping her the month before the abduction of the 91原创 girl.

He was granted a 鈥渙ne-chance鈥� limited released and allowed to living in a community residential facility in the Okanagan.
After 11-months, the document shows, Abrosimo started acting out.
There was a 鈥渄eterioration 鈥� in behaviour and attitude,鈥� the parole board decision noted.
Abrosimo stopped complying with direction 鈥渃ompletely and engaged in behaviours that demonstrated you had significant difficulty controlling your thoughts and actions.鈥�
鈥淵ou demonstrated a disregard for the well being of the female staff that were working with you. You have what are described as 鈥済aps in accountability鈥� and you demonstrate little insight into the sexualized aspect of your behaviours. The Board notes that you appear to waffle between being fixated on having a relationship, and the notion of 鈥渏ust working on me.鈥�
The decision notes that Abrosimo has 鈥渃hallenges with respect to a brain injury鈥� sustained when he was assaulted in 2008.
Initially, his release was revoked.
Abrosimo鈥檚 lawyer told the board the decision to cancel parole was a 鈥渏olt鈥� that forced Abrosimo to address his inappropriate behavior.鈥�
Because Abrosimo demonstrated what the board said was an 鈥渁lmost immediate stabilization and sustained positive response to interventions after (parole was revoked) the board ruled that Abrosimo did not 鈥減resent an undue risk to reoffend at this time鈥� and canceled the direct revocation under the new structured release plan that requires constant supervision and restricts him for being in the same area where the families of his victims live.
Abrosimo was released from jail into a halfway house in the Okanagan last year.
His release was opposed by his young victims and their families, who warned the board made a 鈥渃ritical error鈥� in releasing him.
