At the time of the alleged acts, Mohamad Mahdi was working as a computer technician for a cable company. Officers say he visited homes for equipment installations on July 26 in Sainte-Thérèse de Blainville and Sept. 6 in Laval.

He allegedly sexually assaulted his victims on these occasions.

Mahdi appeared at the Laval courthouse on Oct. 17 to be charged with several counts, including sexual assault and forcible confinement. He was released on conditions and will be back in court next Monday.

Laval police investigators are asking anyone who could have been a victim of this man to contact them and file an official complaint.

The case prompted the authorities to deploy the serial crime investigation management structure (GECS), coordinated by provincial police.
