Patrick Rabideau-Blackadder has been charged by police.

Peel Regional Police are searching for additional potential victims after a man was arrested in connection with an alleged indecent act involving a child at a Brampton recreation facility.

Police say the incident happened on April 26 at approximately 3:15 p.m. at a recreation centre in the area of Dixie Road and Balmoral Drive.

According to investigators, a child was inside a change room when an unknown man allegedly approached and attempted to lure the child into a stall. The child immediately left the area and returned to a parent.

A short time later, the same suspect was allegedly seen outside the facility exposing himself.

Following an investigation by the 21 Division Criminal Investigation Bureau, police arrested Patrick Rabideau-Blackadder, 40, of Brampton, on May 4.

He has been charged with invitation to sexual touching, criminal harassment, mischief and committing an indecent act.

The accused was held in custody pending a bail hearing.
