N.L. man accused of sexual violence against girls and women faces 46 more charges

Police in Newfoundland and Labrador have charged a man with 46 new sexual violence offences against young girls and women, according to the Royal Newfoundland Constabulary. The charges, which include sexual interference, sexual assault, and 13 counts of making child sexual exploitation material, were filed after analysis of electronic devices revealed 20 alleged victims, 15 of whom are youth.

The man, whose name cannot be released due to a publication ban, was first charged in February following a report of sexual violence against a young person on Newfoundland’s northeast Avalon Peninsula.
