In separate criminal charges, Gatineau police have also charged Batchelor with three counts of sexual assault.

The six women came forward to police after a July report in this newspaper that featured his photograph and documented his reputed modus operandi.

On the Quebec side of the river, Batchelor also faces two breach charges for using online dating sites while on bail.

Batchelor had been granted bail while awaiting three rape trials scheduled for 2020.

The accused rapist is now awaiting trials involving nine women who don’t know one another. None of the cases has been tested in court.
