RCMP believe the man befriends younger people and frequents locations popular with teenagers. Police say he is also known to use Snapchat to communicate with teenage girls.
Anyone who believes they or someone they know may be a victim is asked to contact the Swift Current Municipal RCMP at 306-778-4870 or 306-310-RCMP.
RCMP define sexual assault as intentional, unwanted touching of a sexual nature. Police also note it is illegal for an adult to sexually touch, invite or counsel a person under 16 to engage in sexual touching.
Investigators trained in trauma-informed and survivor-centred approaches are available to support anyone who comes forward.
Anyone who steps forward will not be alone in the process, RCMP said, adding that investigators are dedicated to supporting survivors.
