Winnipeg police say a 37-year-old former Winnipeg teacher is facing five new charges for allegedly sexually exploiting girls aged 12-17.
WPS says the Internet Child Exploitation Unit (ICE) has been able to find new evidence in their investigation into Matthew James Mousseau, who was charged late last year for sexually exploiting underage girls.
In December, he was charged with voyeurism, supplying liquor to a minor, possession and accessing of child pornography, indecent exposure to a minor, and luring a minor.
Three minors were students in a program that had Mousseau as their mentor, Winnipeg police are alleging, and the other minor knew him from outside of the school environment.

- Making, publishing or being in possession of any child pornography
- Luring a person under 16 years of age by means of telecommunication
- Two counts of sexual interference

Mousseau was charged while in custody at the Headingley Correctional Centre, where he remains. WPS is continuing to investigate.
