Earlier this week police in Edmonton said the accused used Snapchat to reach out to a 14-year-old girl and a 16-year-old girl in March.
Using Snapchat accounts with the names “Jamie Dole” and “Caramel Thunder,” Edmonton police say the accused would allegedly promise to buy the girls things. In some cases, he would allegedly request nude photographs and videos from the girls in exchange for money, police said.
Police in Edmonton allege he met the 16-year-old twice — on July 26 in a vehicle and on Aug. 5 at his west Edmonton home — and sexually assaulted her.

Winnipeg police are asking anyone with information on Prasad-Pal’s whereabouts to call 911.
