On August 26, the Gatineau Police Service arrested Adam Bergeron, a 19-year-old from Gatineau. The charges are sexually related and involve minors, with additional victims possibly included. SVPG is asking people who may have had contact with Bergeron to come forward.

The investigation began after the National Centre for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC) flagged files containing child sexual abuse and exploitation material with the IP address located in Gatineau, and Adam Bergeron was identified as the alleged suspect.

He allegedly used popular texting platforms, including Discord and Snapchat, under the name “Snaber”.

They arrested Bergeron on August 26 while executing a search warrant at his residence in the Hull area and brought him in for questioning. He is accused of many charges, including possession of child sexual abuse and exploitation material, distribution of child sexual abuse and exploitation material, and accessing child sexual abuse and exploitation material. Bergeron was allegedly very involved with the Outaouais triathlon and cycling communities, working with the younger generation.

Bergeron remains in custody pending his court appearance. SPVG asked anyone with information about the investigation to contact the INFO line at 819-243-4636, option 5.
