Quebec man arrested on sex charges as he leaves jail on other sentence

LONGUEUIL, Que. – A man who was being freed from prison last week after serving a year for sex crimes has been arrested on similar charges.

Eduard-Stefan Georgescu was nabbed on Friday as he left Bordeaux jail.

He faces 32 new charges, including armed sexual assault, sexual assault, attempted kidnapping, and weapons possession.

The alleged assaults on Montreal’s south shore occurred between 2007 and 2012.

Eleven alleged victims have come forward but police say they are investigating the possibility there are more.

The alleged victims are between 13 and 29.

Police say Georgescu would approach women and ask them for directions before allegedly assaulting them.
