Last November a teenage boy reported to Flin Flon RCMP that he had been sexually assaulted by a man he met through snapchat. The man had posed as a high school student on the app.

 

When the alleged assault was reported to police an investigation started that included the RCMP Internet Child Exploitation team of investigators.

 

Enough evidence was gathered and last Thursday a 61 year old man from Flin Flon was arrested for child sexual assault as well as several other charges.

 

At that time, police became aware of another victim, a tennage male under the age of 16.

 

As the investigation continues, police are concerned there may be more victims. The accused not only used snapchat, but websites as well. He is known to use an alias when communicating with youth.

 

RCMP are asking anyone with information to call the Flin Flon RCMP at 204-687-1423, crime stoppers at 1-800-222-8447 or secure tip online at manitobacrimestoppers.com.
