The New Brunswick RCMP are looking for possible victims of a 37-year-old Moncton man who is facing charges of sexual assault and other offences.
The man was arrested in Fredericton in November following reports that someone was videotaping children at hotel pools, according to a statement from the New Brunswick RCMP. He was charged and released on conditions, and then arrested in December by Codiac Regional RCMP for breach of conditions.
Stephen Blackwood recently appeared in Moncton Provincial Court and was charged with sexual assault and sexual interference in connection with an incident at a school in November. He was placed in custody and was scheduled to return to court on Feb. 10.
The RCMP say there were similar offences in the Moncton region and surrounding areas dating back to 2018. He was known to frequent the Shediac Wharf last summer, where he would allegedly approach children and ask them if they would perform a dance for his YouTube channel, where he is known as “Blamzooka”, according to the RCMP. There are reports of similar incidents at Magic Mountain in Moncton, dating back to 2018.
Other places that he visited included Parlee Beach, hotel pools and public pools such as the Dieppe Aquatic Centre, according to the RCMP. Police believe there may also have been other locations. He was also a supply teacher between late October and early November of last year at a number of schools in the Anglophone East School District.
Police are asking any victims or anyone with information to come forward.
