A 24-year-old Edmonton man is facing numerous charges including sexual assault with a weapon and unlawful confinement after incidents involving two teen girls.
Edmonton police say the man used Snapchat to reach out to a 14-year-old girl and a 16-year-old girl in March.
Using Snapchat accounts with the names “Jamie Dole” and “Caramel Thunder,” police say the accused would allegedly promise to buy the girls things. In some cases, he would allegedly request nude photographs and videos from the girls in exchange for money, police said.
Police allege the man met the 16-year-old twice — on July 26 in a vehicle and on Aug. 5 at his west Edmonton home — and sexually assaulted her.
Police allege the man picked up the 14-year-old near her home on Aug. 9 and took her to his home, where he sexually assaulted her.
