Prince District RCMP began an investigation into a voyeurism complaint in October 2023. As a result of this investigation a 34-year-old Queens County man has been arrested and charged with multiple offences including voyeurism, making child pornography, transmitting child pornography, intercepting private communications and unsafe storage of a firearm.
This investigation spans two years of events, and multiple victims were discovered as part of this investigation including several youths. Out of respect for all those affected by these crimes, no further details concerning the victims or accused are being shared at this time. This investigation did not reveal a threat to the greater public, the investigation is ongoing.
The RCMP take public safety and sexual offences very seriously. “It is important that those affected by sexual offences know that there are no limitations on reporting historic events, they can be reported anytime. We use a trauma informed approach and are ready to hear your story when you are ready to tell it.” Said Cpl Gavin Moore, PEI RCMP Media Relations Officer.
