The Major Crimes Unit of the Quebec Provincial Police (SQ) has arrested a young man for allegedly luring minors in addition to alleged possession, distribution and access to child pornography.
Thomas Fland, 19, was charged in Saint-Jerome court on Thursday in connection with multiple sexual offences.
The Acton Vale man allegedly used fake names such as “Tom”, “Titom_0904” and “Timtom.0x” on social media platforms to communicate with victims.
“After having conversations of a sexual nature, he would allegedly ask the victims to send him intimate photos,” the SQ said in a press release. “The investigation shows that the suspect may have had other victims in different cities in Quebec.”
Several Quebec police forces worked with the SQ to handle the case and make the arrest.
