In April 2024, the Winnipeg Police Service’s Sex Crimes Unit began investigating separate incidents involving the luring of two female victims in their early-teens.

Investigators determined that between March and April 2024, an adult male used social media to communicate and lure the victims, posing as a 17-year-old male. Through his communication with the victims, the suspect gained the victim’s trust, formed relationships, and subsequently sexually assaulted them.

Investigators identified 22-year-old Kalib Naseeb DEBUSSCHERE of Winnipeg as being involved in the incidents and, on May 14, 2024, arrested him without incident.

DEBUSSCHERE is charged with the following offences:

  • Sexual Assault
  • Sexual Interference x 2
  • Luring a Person Under 16 years of age by Means of Telecommunication x 2

He was released on a court order prohibiting contact with individuals under 18, as mandated by the Criminal Code.

This investigation is continuing. Anyone with information or who wishes to speak to an investigator is asked to call the Sex Crimes Unit at 204-986-6245 or anonymously at Crime Stoppers at 204-786-TIPS or winnipegcrimestoppers.org.

Support resources include WPS Victim Services at 204-986-6350 and the Klinic Sexual Assault Crisis Line at 204-786-8631.
