At 16, Pelletier was found guilty of breaking into a Vancouver home in September 2016 for the purpose of committing sexual assault. He had also pleaded guilty to separate incidents of assaults and indecent acts.

Pelletier was the subject of a similar warning by the Vancouver Police Department in 2024 after he moved into a halfway house.

He will be under electronic monitoring, said police, and is required to comply with several conditions, including not going within two blocks of the 2500-block Woodland Drive in Vancouver and not buying, possessing or using alcohol or drugs.
