  • Vancouver man charged with Ottawa incidents of Voyeurisms and Sexual Assaults

On Wednesday, July 15,2020 the Ottawa Police Service Sexual Assault and Child Abuse Unit (SACA) charged a Vancouver man with 34 counts of Voyeurism and three counts of Sexual Assault involving six adult female victims known to him.

Charged is Andrew Seangio, 35 years old, of Vancouver. Mr. Seangio, a suspended member of the Richmond RCMP in British Columbia, turned himself in to police in Vancouver Thursday morning.

The Ottawa offences occurred between 2011 and 2018. He was living in the City of Ottawa at the time some of the offences occurred. The SACA investigation was initiated when Vancouver Police Department contacted Ottawa Police Service in January 2020 to assist them in their ongoing investigation, involving indecent acts.

Mr. Seangio was charged by Vancouver Police in March 2020 in relation to their own investigation. The Ottawa Police investigation continues. SACA investigators believe there may be further victims and ask any women who were present in Mr. Seangio’s residence in the South end of Ottawa, between October 2015 and October 2017, to contact them.

The Ottawa Police will respect a victim’s wishes to pursue or not pursue the matter before the courts. The reporting of these incidents by victims to police is key for investigators to identify suspects and determine crime trends.

Anyone with information is asked to contact the Ottawa Police Service Sexual Assault and Child Abuse Unit Tip at 613-236-1222 ext. 5944 or to e-mail mcm@ottawapolice.ca
