CBC
A 21-year-old Richmond County man has been charged with multiple sexual offences including sexual interference, sexual assault and making child sex abuse material.
According to a news release, Eskasoni RCMP received a report of a man causing a disturbance at a home on November 19. Police say the man had tried to get inside the house to see a young person who was inside.
An investigation, according to police, revealed the man had started a relationship with the youth, who is between the ages of 12 and 15, online in September.
He was arrested on November 22 at his home on Chapel Island. Police executed a search warrant and seized an electronic device during the search.
The man is facing multiple charges including sexual interference (the intentional sexual touching of a person under the age of 16, whether directly or indirectly), sexual assault, making child sexual abuse and exploitation material (a charge that used to be known as child pornography), luring a child, making sexually explicit material available to a child break and enter, and uttering threats.
The man is in custody and is scheduled to appear in Sydney Provincial Court on December 16.
Police believe there may be additional victims. Anyone with information is asked to contact their local RCMP detachment or police jurisdiction.
