The 40 year old pleaded guilty Monday to a dozen charges — including sexual assault, criminal harassment, luring and attempting to traffic a person under 18 — involving eight victims over a decade.

Judge Marlyse Dumel heard how Lyons, a former volunteer equipment manager for the University of Ottawa’s football team, used MSN Messenger, Facebook, Twitter and Tumblr accounts and aliases including “Joe Howorth” and “Steve Debone” to meet and exploit teenage girls.

The first was in 2006 and the last in 2016 when Lyons contacted a Facebook Messenger account he believed belonged to a 17-year-old girl and offered her as much as $2,000 to meet up with “generous” men, court heard.

But it was really a covert account belonging to city police who arrived to arrest Lyons at the Rideau Centre based on his description that he’d be wearing a maroon-and-grey sweater.
