Sexual assault: The SPVM is seeking potential victims of David Kost

Investigators in the Module des agressions sexuelles of the Section des crimes majeurs of the Service de police de la Ville de Montréal (SPVM) are seeking potential victims of David Kost, a former massage therapist accused of sexual assault. Investigators have reason to believe there may be other victims.

David Kost offered massage therapy services in a private clinic and at home. On October 3, 2017, he pleaded guilty to charges of sexual assault in two cases. The alleged events took place in 2015 and 2016, during massage therapy sessions. Since his Court appearance, police officers received two additional complaints against David Kost for similar offences, and believe there may be other victims in Montreal.

The suspect is a 49-year-old Caucasian man who speaks English. He is 6’7 (2 m) and weighs 250 lbs (113 kg). He has brown hair and brown eyes.

Anyone who may have been a victim of David Kost or who knows a potential victim is asked to visit their neighbourhood police station or to dial 911 to file an official complaint.
