A British Columbia man is facing almost two dozen charges over allegations of online sexual extortion that police say stem from reports by several victims in Nova Scotia, Quebec and Ontario.

RCMP in Burnaby, B.C., said in a statement they began an investigation in December 2022 after 19-year-old Anwer Jelassi was identified as the suspect.
