A Vancouver man now faces charges in connection with an alleged sexual assault against a child, according to CTV News.
The BC Prosecution Service said Vincent Papequash faces one count of sexual interference and one count of sexual assault for allegedly touching a minor under the age of 16 for a sexual purpose.
Papequash was an associate producer in the CBC Vancouver newsroom from October of last year up until his arrest on Saturday.
According to Vancouver Police, Papequash was a stranger to the child and was arrested the same day the events allegedly took place.
Papequash has since been released with conditions and there is a court-ordered publication ban on certain details regarding the alleged incident.
He is no longer working for CBC, according to a spokesperson for the broadcaster. The network declined to comment further on the charges.
CBC Vancouver has removed Papequash’s biography page from its website and Papequash has reportedly deleted all of his social media accounts.
