He was arrested on August 16, brought before the courts and released on conditions, some of which include:
- Have no contact or communication, directly or indirectly with the victim
- Not go to or be within 50 metres of where the victim lives, works, attends school, worships, or happens to be;
- Not go to or be within 50 metres of where the offence occurred;
- Not possess directly or indirectly any weapon as defined by the Criminal Code;

Tammy Lobb, on Wednesday. “We encourage anyone with information to contact Surrey RCMP Special Victim’s Unit at 604-599-0502.”
