Earlier this week, members of 52 Division Criminal Investigative Bureau executed a search warrant and made the arrest. They believe there may be more victims.
The man has been charged with fail to comply with a release order and voyeurism, which targets individuals who, for a sexual purpose, secretly observe or make a visual recording of a person in circumstances where there is an expectation of privacy, such as in changing rooms, bathrooms or private dwellings.
Indictable voyeurism offences can lead to a maximum penalty of five years in prison, while summary charges can lead to a maximum penalty of up to two years less a day in prison.
Depending on the circumstances and the judge’s decision, individuals convicted of voyeurism can also be placed on the national sex offender registry.
