47-year-old Ghislain Giroux, from Ville-Marie, appeared last Thursday at the courthouse, but the Sûreté du Québec believes that other victims could be added.

The Major Crimes Investigation Service of the Sûreté du Québec mentions that the individual was active on various social networks under various identities.

The individual may have had other victims. That’s why the photo and all these pseudonyms used on the Internet were publishedreports Sergeant Hugues Beaulieu of the Sûreté du Québec.

Several platforms seem to have been used to approach teenage girls.

The facts alleged against Mr. Giroux occurred between 2014 and 2021, according to the Major Crimes Investigation Service of the Sûreté du Québec. As Hugues Beaulieu of the Sûreté du Québec points out, it is not excluded that victims are found outside of Abitibi-Témiscamingue.

As the file is on the Internet, in fact, the victims could come from just about anywhere. If a person recognizes himself, he can communicate confidentially with the information center of the Sûreté du Québec [au 1 800 659-4264]says Sergeant Hugues Beaulieu.

The man was arrested on January 12, 2022, following a sexual offense against a victim under the age of 16. New charges have been added to the case in recent months.
