HALIFAX — Police are asking Nova Scotia residents to come forward if they think they have been victims of a 44-year-old man at the centre of a sexual assault investigation in Alberta.
The Mounties say Christopher Brian Godfrey, a resident of Bonnyville, Alta., lived in southwestern Nova Scotia from 2008 until 2011.
Cpl. Shawn Morgan, a spokesman for the RCMP in eastern Alberta, says Godfrey is expected in court Tuesday to face charges of sexual assault, criminal harassment, fraud and extortion.
Investigators allege Godfrey used various aliases online, including Lucas Kennedy and Lucas Jacknife, to allegedly gain access to victims and commit sexual offences.
The charges are related to alleged crimes in Alberta, not in Nova Scotia.
But Morgan says police are reaching out to Nova Scotians to encourage potential victims to come forward.
