Roadie charged with sex assaults on boy in 1970s
CP24.com - September 9
A band roadie from Goderich, Ont., has been charged with sexually
assaulting a 13-year-old boy in the 1970s.
Police say the man used his job as a stage and laser-light
technician for music bands in the Toronto area to entice victims.
Investigators say a 13-year-old boy was sexually assaulted over
several months in the '70s, but only came forward to police this
past May.
Lawrence Michael Roberts, also known as L-Michael Roberts, 60, has
been charged with indecent assault on a male, buggery, and making or
possessing obscene matter.
He is due in court Sept. 14.
Police say the accused travelled extensively and lived in other
areas, and there could be other alleged victims.
Police say work boots key clue in Varaschin murder
CTV.ca - September 9
OPP and Orangeville police investigators are looking at some
particular types of work boots as they seek the public's help in
identifying who killed nurse Sonia Varaschin.
At a news conference on Wednesday in Orangeville, they displayed
four different sets of work boots -- two made by Dakota and two by
WindRiver.
They are sized 10 or 11. The two brands are sold exclusively through
Mark's Work Wearhouse. There is one outlet of the chain in
Orangeville. Two others are located in Alliston and Bolton.
Authorities also examined Varaschin's townhouse and said they found
blood on the front steps and front door, as well as inside the home.
OPP Det. Insp. Mark Pritchard noted that the public helped find
Varaschin's body, and they can play an equally important role in
identifying her killer.
"Last week, through the media, we asked the public to be our eyes
and our ears in locating Sonia," said Pritchard.
"We believe that Sonia's killer is very familiar with Orangeville,
with the outskirts of Orangeville, Sonia's neighborhood, Sonia's
townhouse -- and potentially Sonia herself," he added.
Pritchard said they want to hear from anyone who knows someone who:
* wears boots like the ones shown above
* is familiar with the Orangeville area
* came home on Aug. 30 with unexplained staining on their clothing
or their boots
* has since discarded these boots or does so after today's
announcement
* or has purchased new boots since Aug. 30 for work-related reasons
"A friend, co-worker or spouse will hold the key to solving this
crime," Pritchard said. "Anyone who has any doubts or any suspicions
is encouraged to call the police so we can look into the matter."
Pritchard said there is nothing to indicate that there is more than
one suspect involved in Varaschin's murder.
Anyone with information is asked to call the Orangeville Police
Service tip line at (519) 941-2522, ext. 2211 or Crime Stoppers at
1-800-222-TIPS (8477).
