Résumé détaillé

New Brunswick RCMP have released the photo of a Moncton man facing several charges in connection with a child luring investigation, as well as a list of communities he has "spent time in" across Canada to encourage people with information to come forward.

Codiac Regional RCMP have released the photo of a Moncton man facing several charges in connection with a child luring investigation.

Police have also released a list of several communities Timothy Roy, 45, has "spent time in" across Canada since 2000.

"Obviously it's really rare," spokesperson Cpl. Luc Picard told CBC News about the update issued Friday.

But investigators want to encourage anyone who "may have had interactions with [Roy] or who believes they may have been victimized to come forward and contact the RCMP or the local police, depending on where they live," Picard said.

Roy, who worked as a realtor in greater Moncton, is charged with sexual assault, sexual interference of a person under the age of 16, human trafficking of a person under 18, child luring, and obtaining sexual services for consideration from a person under 18.

Picard declined to elaborate on the nature of the allegations or reveal how police determined the list of communities, citing the ongoing investigation and the matter being before the courts.

Picard said police launched an investigation on Aug. 26 after they received information that a 45-year-old man was in contact with underage girls for a sexual purpose.

During the evening of Sept. 10, officers located the suspect's vehicle parked at a hotel on Mountain Road in Moncton, he said.

According to Picard, the man was seen exiting the hotel the next day with a female under 16 and was arrested at the scene.
