Police told Global News the alleged victims range in age from six to 68 years old, with the two youths being six and 12. RCMP added the alleged complaints were made in 2021 and all came from females.

At that time, RCMP said they believed there were other victims and asked anyone affected to contact Strathcona County RCMP at 780-467-7741 or their local police.
