Man suspected of sexually assaulting girls
A Prince George man is suspected of having committed a string of sexual offences against young and teenaged girls.
Crown counsel has approved seven charges against Kevin Alexander Roberts, 46, after he was arrested in Vancouver on Monday. He remains in custody pending a bail hearing next week.
The moves were made after a woman filed a complaint with the Vancouver Police Department alleging Roberts sexually assaulted her in Vancouver and in Prince George when she was a “young girl,” according to police.
Police believe there may be other possible victims and are asking them to step forward. The VPD said Roberts is a truck driver who has worked routes throughout B.C. and Alberta and has also worked as a school bus driver in the Prince George area. He has also worked as a mover and has a transient lifestyle, police said.
“These types of crimes are extremely traumatic and survivors live with the lifelong impact,” said VPD Sgt. Jason Robillard.
“We are providing this information and a photo of the suspect, with hopes that we will uncover more information and help prevent this from happening to someone else.”
The victims would have been between four and 18 years old at the time he allegedly committed the crimes, according to the VPD.
Anyone with information is asked to call the VPD’s Sex Crime Unit at 604-717-0600 or Crime Stoppers anonymously at 1-800-222-8477.
