Sexual Assault Suspect: SQ Seeks Victims

0:00Quebec's provincial police, with the Sarrette du Quebec, are asking the public to come forward if they might be victims of a sexual assault suspect. 54-year-old Jose Antonio Padraza, Padraza from Badraya, Dorion, got arrested on April 2nd and faced charges in court that same day. He still locked up awaiting his next steps. The allegations point to assaults happening back in February, 2026, when he worked as a massage therapist in Salaberry, DeValleyfield. Cops say he sometimes went by the name Joseph during those times. This kind of call for tips shows how these cases often have more victims who stay silent out of fear or shame. Police know not everyone reports right away, especially with someone in a position of trust, like a therapist. Right now, investigators want any details that could build the case stronger. No new arrests or charges yet, but they're focused on finding everyone affected. If you got info, hit up the SQ Criminal Tip Line at 1-800-6514264. It's confidential.
