Bruno-Pierre Godbout, a councillor in the community of Chandler, was charged this week with sexual assault, assault with a weapon, unlawful confinement and criminal harassment.
The assaults that the 36-year-old man is accused of committing are to have occurred between 2010 and 2025, and involve three alleged victims.
Police say he used his public profile as a politician to contact his alleged victims, adding that it’s possible there are others.
