A 26-year-old Edmonton man is facing charges, and police believe there may be more victims after a number of women reported being groped at the Terwillegar Community Recreation Centre pool earlier this month.

In a release, Edmonton police said on August 9 between 7 and 8 pm, a man swimming in the pool and lazy river reportedly groped four females, two under 16.

Police have since charged 26-year-old Yaser Moshfeq with two counts of sexual interference and two counts of sexual assault.

Investigators encourage any other women who were swimming in the Terwillegar pool between 7 and 8 pm on August 9, who may have also been inappropriately touched by an adult male, to contact the EPS at 780-423-4567 or anonymously through Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.
