The Quebec City Police Service (SPVQ) is searching for potential victims of Nicolas Pageau, 26, who was arrested Friday night on charges of sexual assault, sexual interference, invitation to sexual contact, solicitation and possession of child pornography.
The man appeared via video conference on Saturday afternoon, but police have reason to believe he may have had other victims.
Nicolas Pageau could have addressed young students from various high schools and private schools in the Sainte-Foy, L’Ancienne-Lorette and Val-Bélair sectors.
