The St. Thomas Police are reaching out to the public following a year long investigation into 59 year old Eugene Francois of St. Thomas.
Back in May of 2021, the STPS arrested Francois at his Talbot Street address for offences including trafficking a person under the age of 18, sexual assault, sexual exploitation and possession of child pornography.
Through the year long investigation, it was determined that Francois had been filming female victims in his apartment, where he operated a popular music studio, without their knowledge or consent.
As a result, 16 additional charges have been laid in relation to 10 victims, including voyeurism, making child pornography and possession of child pornography.
The STPS have processed thousands of images and have discovered several victims yet to be identified.
If you are a female who attended the residence of Eugene Francois between 2009 and May of 2021, the St. Thomas Police urge you to please contact their Criminal Investigation Branch if you have not done so already.
You may speak directly and confidentially to Detective Sergeant Aaron Fraser by calling 519-631-1224 ext #4300 or Email afraser@stps.on.ca.
