Central Saanich man, 75, charged in historic sexual assault case

Victoria police arrested a 75-year-old man on Tuesday after another man came forward saying he was sexually abused years ago.

Police say Andre “Andy” Van Goor worked as a supervisor at Royal Athletic Park from 1988 until 2003. It’s alleged that’s when the abuse took place.

The Central Saanich man has been charged with sexual exploitation and sexual assault.

It’s unknown how old the victim was at the time of the assault, but police say he is now an adult. 

VicPD says they believe there are more victims and encourage them to come forward.

Anyone with information about Van Goor’s activities with children and youth is asked to call Victoria police at [phone] or the Men’s Trauma Centre at [phone].

Due to a court order publication ban no further details will be released, police say.
