Police said the initial incident took place last November, when a teenage boy told RCMP he had been sexually assaulted by an adult man after agreeing to a meeting — with someone he thought was also a teen — on the social media app.

After a lengthy investigation, police arrested and charged Dana Dadson, from the Flin Flon and Baker Narrows, Man., area, at which point they became aware of a second victim, also a teen boy.
