A months-long investigation by the Surrey RCMP’s Special Victims Unit (SVU) has led to a lifeguard being charged with sexual interference.

Jakob Truong, 24, of Surrey was charged with sexual interference, invitation to sexual touching, and luring a child on Oct. 25, according to a Surrey RCMP release.

Police said the charges are related to an investigation that began on April 11, when Surrey RCMP received a complaint of alleged sexual interference of a minor by a 24-year-old lifeguard at a City of Surrey recreation centre.
