VANCOUVER (NEWS1130) – Ten new charges have been laid against a former Vancouver lifeguard accused of sexually abusing children.
Police say five more possible victims of Abraham Kiewiet, 70, have come forward. The apparent victims, both male and female, were between 12 and 16 years old at the time of the alleged incidents between 1976 and 1982. He was working for the Vancouver Park Board at the time.
“These victims came to us after learning of this investigation following a public appeal for information in September of this year,” says Sgt. Matt Clarke with the Vancouver Police Sex Crimes Unit.
“These men and women should be admired for their courage in coming forward,” he adds.
A total of 22 charges have been laid involving 10 possible victims.
Police think there are still more victims out there. They’re urging anyone with more information to call them at (604) 717-0618.
