The Gatineau Major Crimes Investigation Division of the Sûreté du Québec arrested Kevin Parent, 32, of Brownsburg-Chatham for sexual offences.
Parent appeared on Dec. 15 at the Saint-Jérôme courthouse. He is charged with sexual contact, incitement to sexual contact and luring while he was in a position of authority over victims including some were minors at the time of the events. The events would have taken place between the years 2012 and 2023 in Lachute, Saint-Jérôme and Laval. The investigation tends to show that the suspect could have caused other victims.
Kevin Parent would be active on Facebook, Messenger and TikTok applications.
Since several victims have been identified, the management structure for serial crime investigations (GECS), coordinated by the Sûreté du Québec, has been deployed. It is a unified command structure in which Quebec police services work in partnership to quickly identify and arrest crimes committed by predators. This provincial coordination therefore allows police resources to be pooled and aims to better protect victims.
The Sûreté du Québec reminds that at any time, the public can also transmit information confidentially to the Central Criminal Information from the Sûreté du Québec at 1 800 659-4264.
