Lavergne, a lifelong criminal with no work history, was released on two conditional sentences almost exactly one year ago. Five months later, police in Ottawa charged him with sexually assaulting the girl. He’s also wanted for breaching the conditions of his release. Police, however, have not been able to locate him.

According to police, Lavergne is known to have fled police on multiple occasions and engaged them in pursuits. He has also allegedly rammed police vehicles. He is known to wear wigs and disguises and has a background in breaking-and-entering.
