An Alberta man with links to Nova Scotia is facing more charges as part of a 10-month sexual assault investigation.
Christopher Brian Godfrey, 44, is further charged with fraud, extortion, and two counts of criminal harassment. Bonnyville RCMP in Alberta say this is the result of allegations by additional victims.
Godfrey was initially charged last month with sexual assault, fraud over $5,000 and extortion after allegedly using “various aliases online to gain access to a number of victims and commit sexual offences,” according to RCMP.
Godfrey’s known aliases include “Lucas Kennedy” and “Lucas Jacknife.”
Police in Nova Scotia say Godfrey used to live in the Tri-County area of Shelburne, Yarmouth and Digby counties from 2008 to 2011.
They encourage anyone who may have been a victim to come forward by calling their local police or RCMP detachment.
In January, Godfrey was released on a cash bail and a number of conditions, including not possessing any weapons, not having a computer in his home, and to only use the telephone function on his phone except for work purposes.
He is scheduled to appear in Bonnyville Provincial Court on Tuesday.
