He will be in court again to consult legal counsel on June 21.
In February, Gerbrandt was the subject of an alert when he disappeared with his daughters Jan. 21 while wanted for charges of sexual interference and sexual assault on a minor.
His children were to be living with their grandparents and Gerbrandt had a curfew due to the aforementioned charges.
RCMP said in a press release on Feb. 9 that Gerbrandt was arrested in Ontario and the “wellbeing of his daughters has been confirmed.” They didn’t specify where in Ontario he was found or what led to his arrest.
