A serial sex offender has been arrested in Richmond.
RCMP say 28-year-old Novid Dadmand of Richmond was charged in March, 2014, with 11 criminal code offences, allegedly dating back to 2008, and relating to sexual assault, break and enter theft and fraud.
On April 28, 2015, Dadmand was indicted in BC Supreme Court on eight counts (seven for sexual assault and one for break and enter).
Dadmand was identified through similar circumstances that took place in Richmond, North Vancouver, Surrey and Burnaby. He is alleged to have used social media to befriend his victims and to identify himself online as a modelling agent.
RCMP says he is alleged to have convinced the victims to meet with him for a photo shoot in exchange for money and gifts. It is during these meetings that the majority of the criminal offences are alleged to have occurred.
Dadmand has also been known to use the alias Robert Peako and investigators are now looking for any other victims to come forward.
A tip line has been set up at 604-207-4762, and anyone else that may have come into contact with Dadmand is encouraged to come forward.
