The now-former head of a Canadian LGBT activist group has been arrested and charged with multiple sex crimes against children. Sean Gravells served as president of the North Peace Pride Society from 2018 until Friday, when the group announced his removal from the board following a Jan. 3 vote.
Dan McLaughlin, a spokesman for the British Columbia Prosecution Service, told Canadian state media Monday that Gravells, 39, has been accused of molesting an individual under the age of 16, sexual interference of a person under 16, possession of child pornography, and importation or distribution of child pornography.
Gravells, who indicated in a 2022 Meta post that he had gone to work for WESCO Distribution, is alleged to have victimized children in northern British Columbia in or around Fort St. John. Whereas the alleged molestation is said to have occurred on Dec. 29, the child porn charges occurred on Dec. 31.
