Saskatoon Police Service's Center for Children's Justice have arrested and charged a man known to be a community volunteer in the city with multiple counts of sexual assault and sexual interference against minors.
Police arrested Eric Pohorecky, 62, on Friday after an investigation of alleged sexual assault and sexual interference incidents that took place between 2016 and 2017.
Police believe there may be other victims and are asking anyone with any information to come forward.
According to a Wednesday news release, Pohorecky is known to be a community volunteer in Saskatoon.
As the investigation continued, officers levied more charges against Pohorecky related to incidents believed to have taken place between 2018 and 2021.
The charges are linked to four alleged victims who were younger than 16-years-old when the incidents happened.
Pohorecky is facing four counts of sexual assault and four counts of sexual interference.
Since Pohorecky is a community volunteer, police believe there may be other victims and are asking anyone with information to contact the Saskatoon Police Service at 306-975-8300.
