Winnipeg Police Service searching for man wanted for luring children and sexual touching

Winnipeg Police Service are asking for the public's help in locating a 24-year-old Edmonton man who is wanted for sexual assault and child luring in Winnipeg.

Aaron Renee Prasad-Pal is wanted for three counts of luring children under 16, two counts of obtaining sexual considerations, two counts of invitation to sexual touching, and one charge each of sexual assault and sexual interference.

Prasad-Pal is of South Asian descent, is 6'3 and 238 lbs, with "black hair and black eyes."

“Given the nature of the charges he is facing in Edmonton, Alberta, I would say that coupled with the fact that he is believed to be armed, would layout that he presents a significant risk, or a definite risk to public safety,” said Const. Rob Carver in a press conference on Friday. “With that sort of background, we are devoting significant resources to attempting to locate him.”

“We have been looking for him since information came forward early yesterday, and there is certainly a belief that he could still be in Winnipeg,” Carver said, according to CTV News.
