RCMP release:
The West Hants RCMP General Investigation Section (GIS) has now charged an Ontario man for more than 30 sexual offences involving youth as part of an investigation that began in 2022.
In August 2025, the 29-year-old man appeared in Kentville Provincial Court to face charges of Luring a Child, Indecent Communications and Transmit Sexually Explicit Material to a Child.
The ongoing investigation has now led the West Hants RCMP GIS to charge Sebastien Michael Vienneau of Woodstock with:
- Luring a Child (30 counts)
- Making Sexually Explicit Material Available to a Child (8 counts)
- Indecent Communications (2 counts)
- Making Child Pornography (2 counts)
- Possessing Child Pornography
- Accessing Child Pornography
- Making Child Pornography Available
The charges were laid in Kentville Provincial Court on December 11. The offences involve 30 victims, all of whom were youth at the time.
“This extensive investigation demonstrates a steadfast commitment by investigators to determine the facts of the matter,” says S/Sgt. Ed Nugent, West Hants RCMP. “It involved many units and agencies working toward a common goal of identifying victims and ensuring all appropriate charges would be laid.”
Vienneau is scheduled to appear in Kentville Provincial Court on January 6.
The investigation is continuing; however, no further charges are anticipated at this time.
