MONTREAL — A 42-year-old man has appeared in court in Quebec City in the disappearance of a 16-year-old girl from England.
The accused from Birmingham, U.K., has been charged with sexual touching of a teenage girl over whom he was in a position of authority.
He was arrested Monday by Quebec City police near Montmorency Falls, a landmark close to the city, following a request from the West Midlands Police in the U.K.
Police say the girl was with the accused at the time and is in good physical health.
The arrest involved collaboration between police in the U.K., the RCMP, Interpol, the Canada Border Services Agency and Quebec provincial police.
The Crown objected to the man’s release during a court appearance on Tuesday, and he remains in detention until his next court appearance on Friday.
