Parkland RCMP are looking for more potential victims after a 69-year-old man was charged with several sexual assaults dating back to 1984 in Spruce Grove, Alberta.

Patrick Willis Fair is currently facing five charges of sexual assault. The investigation into the matter began in October 2025 after the police received a report involving a female youth.

Officers have identified six victims so far but believe there could be other people who have not yet come forward. The police have released a photograph of Fair to help encourage anyone with information to contact them.

The alleged crimes took place over many years, with some dating back more than four decades. Fair has been released from custody and is scheduled to appear in court on March 25, 2026.
