A 53-year-old man from Moncton, N.B., who previously lived in Woodstock, N.B., has been charged with sexual assault and sexual interference on a person under the age of 16 in Moncton, N.B.
On May 5, 2024, members of the Codiac Regional RCMP responded to a report of a sexual assault involving a child, in Moncton.
On June 19, 2024, the Codiac Regional RCMP’s General Investigations Section along with the New Brunswick RCMP’s Internet Child Exploitation Unit, Digital Forensics Services Unit, and general duty members executed a search warrant at a residence on First Avenue, in connection with the investigation. A 53-year-old man was arrested at the scene. Several items were seized during the search, including digital evidence and illegal tobacco.
Throughout the investigation, it was learned that the man had committed similar offences in the Moncton region and in Woodstock, dating back to 1994.
On September 17, 2024, charges of sexual assault and sexual interference on a person under the age of 16 were laid against 53-year-old Norman Dyer in Moncton Provincial Court. Following his arrest, Norman Dyer was released on strict conditions, including not to communicate with anyone under the age of 16, and is scheduled to appear in Moncton Provincial Court on November 4.
