The Montreal Police force (SPVM) is searching for a suspect believed to be involved in sexual assaults that occurred between 2006 and 2012.
On Thursday, the SPVM’s Sexual Assault Unit will set up a mobile command post in Ahuntsic, at the intersection of Fleury Street East and Curotte Avenue between 9 a.m. and 6 p.m., to meet with the public and gather any information that could lead to the suspect’s identification.
The SPVM says the investigation has established a link between a suspect and sexual assaults committed between 2006 and 2012 in the boroughs of Ahuntsic-Cartierville and Mercier-Hochelaga-Maisonneuve. During these assaults, the suspect attacked the victims from behind, covered their mouths with his hand, and demanded sexual acts before fleeing on foot. On some occasions, he also used a knife to threaten them.
The SPVM has released two composite sketches, one created in 2006 and the other in 2012, to help identify the suspect. He is a white male, 5’9” tall, and speaks French. At the time of the incidents, he was between 40 and 50-years-old.
Anyone with information that could assist investigators in these cases is asked to contact the Sexual Assault Unit at 514-799-7225.
Police say they participated in a podcast on the topic for anyone who would like additional information.
