A Flin Flon man has been arrested after two men came forward with allegations that they had been sexually abused as children, and police are concerned there may be more victims.

Snow Lake RCMP began investigating in August after the first man reported being sexually abused when he was a child living in Snow Lake between 2004 and 2012.

During the investigation a second man came forward with allegations he was also sexually abused by the same suspect during the same period.

Daniel Hughes, 34, has been charged with 11 offences including sexual assault, sexual interference, and sexual exploitation.

Hughes has since been released with numerous court imposed conditions.
