Police say the two alleged victims, who are now adults, reported the crimes in June and August.
The Truro Police Service Criminal Investigation Division started an investigation into the allegations and consulted with the Public Prosecution Service on relevant charges for the time period.
“These types of crimes are extremely traumatic for the survivors, who often feel the lifelong impact of these crimes,” police said in a news release.
“Our investigation leads us to believe there are other victims.”
