When Cameron Lyons wasn’t volunteering as equipment manager for the University of Ottawa Gee-Gees, he was targeting teen girls as young as 14 under the guise of recruiting them as models and high-priced escorts for a website called “Golden Girls of Ottawa.”

But there were no clients, no money and no modelling gigs for one of his victims — just a motel room in Vanier where he raped her on videotape.

Lyons, 41, was recently sentenced to eight years in prison after pleading guilty last year to a dozen criminal charges — including sexual assault, extortion, criminal harassment, child luring and attempting to traffic a person under 18. His child-sex crimes went on for a decade until he was arrested in an undercover Ottawa police sting at the Rideau Centre where Lyons thought he was about to meet his next victim.

He also blackmailed some of his victims and used their photographs to advertise them as sex workers online.
