A former Ontario Hockey League billet parent in Peterborough, Ont., faces multiple sex-related charges in connection with two youth.
The Peterborough Police Service say in early February, an investigation was launched which led to the arrest of a woman on Feb. 21.
She was initially charged with sexual exploitation, making sexually explicit material available to a person under 18 years of age and accessing child pornography.
Police never publicly reported the initial arrest.
The court documents state the woman “while in a position of trust or authority towards (name) was in a relationship with (name) that was exploitive.”
The court documents also allege that between Feb. 1 and March 31, 2023, the woman made available and distributed sexually explicit material to an individual under the age of 18. It is also alleged she made an “obscene picture, to wit: a digital image.”
TSN on Feb. 28 reported the accused is a Petes’ billet parent and that the complainant is a player.
Last week, police stated their ongoing investigation led to the woman’s second arrest earlier that day for another charge involving a second youth.
The woman was charged with another count of making sexually-explicit material available to a person under 18 years of age.
Police did not release the name of the woman to protect the identity of the complainant.
