Montreal Police Seek Victims of 72-Year-Old Man Charged with Sexual Offences

Montreal police are urging potential victims to come forward following the arrest and charging of 72-year-old Daniel Rochefort on multiple sexual offence counts. The allegations, which span nearly two decades from 2007 to 2026, include luring, making child sexual abuse material, sexual assault, sexual interference, and invitation to sexual touching. Investigators believe Rochefort contacted victims via social media platforms such as Instagram and Snapchat, using aliases like 'dannyrock16752' and 'dannyrock201721'. Additional charges were laid on May 11 after an investigation by the force’s sexual assault unit. The case is now being handled by Quebec’s coordinated response to serial crimes, overseen by the Sûreté du Québec, to pool resources and identify further victims across jurisdictions. Police have released photos of Rochefort, noting his appearance has changed over time, and described him as a white man with white hair and blue eyes. Authorities encourage anyone with information or who believes they may be a victim to contact police or anonymously reach out to Info-Crime Montréal.
