Sexual interference charges are laid when police believe a suspect has touched a person who is under the age of consent — in Canada that’s under 16 years old — for a sexual purpose.

On Wednesday, RCMP said they have obtained an arrest warrant for Labrecque and believe he is actively avoiding being caught.

Police said Labrecque is five feet six inches tall, 123 pounds and has hazel eyes and brown hair.
