Langley gymnastic coach faces new charges on top of sexual interference

 

There are now nine victims linked to a suspected sexual predator who was a former coach with the Langley Gymnastics Federation, the local RCMP say.

In March, John William Henry, a 32-year-old Abbotsford resident, was charged with sexual interference.

Henry remains in custody, by his own consent, in the wake of the initial charge.

A Langley RCMP investigation has now turned up eight additional victims, said Cpl. Holly Marks, spokesperson for the department.

The total number or type of charges that may be laid now has not yet been determined, said Marks.

Little information can be released about the victims to protect their privacy.

Henry does not have a criminal record dating back to before his arrest.
