Codiac Regional RCMP have released the photo of a Moncton man facing several charges in connection with a child luring investigation.

Police have also released a list of several communities Timothy Roy, 45, has "spent time in" across Canada since 2000.

"Obviously it's really rare," spokesperson Cpl. Luc Picard told CBC News about the update issued Friday.

But investigators want to encourage anyone who "may have had interactions with [Roy] or who believes they may have been victimized to come forward and contact the RCMP or the local police, depending on where they live," Picard said.

Roy, who worked as a realtor in greater Moncton, is charged with sexual assault, sexual interference of a person under the age of 16, human trafficking of a person under 18, child luring, and obtaining sexual services for consideration from a person under 18.
