Mr. Nzoberera was arrested following an investigation into several assaults on minors and complaints from three victims against him. Following his arrest, the individual was taken to the police station where he was able to meet with the investigators on file and then remained in custody until his appearance the next day. At his July 7 appearance in Quebec Court, Mr. Nzoberera was charged with aggravated sexual assault, sexual interference with a person under the age of 16, luring a person under the age of 16, and sexual interference with a person under 16, luring a person under the age of 18, obtaining sexual services from a person under the age of 18 in exchange for money, and transmitting sexually explicit material to a person under the age of 16.
