A Langley man has been charged with two counts of sexual exploitation of two victims, and the police are asking the public to come forward if there’s any additional information.
Isauro Antonino Flores, a Langley resident, has been charged with two counts of sexual exploitation, in relation to two victims. Investigators believe there may be additional individuals within the equestrian community who have information but have not yet come forward.
Langley RCMP are seeking additional information in relation to an ongoing investigation into alleged sexual exploitation of victims.
In December 2023, Langley RCMP began an investigation into the report of historical sexual offences that are alleged to have occurred in Langley and Delta, between 2000 and 2023.
Sexual exploitation in the Canadian Criminal Code is usually defined as sexual touching involving a person “who is in a position of trust or authority towards a young person.”
“Anyone who has information, regardless of how old it may be, is strongly encouraged to contact the Langley RCMP,” says Sgt. Zynal Sharoom. “We understand that coming forward can be difficult, but it is important, and we encourage you to speak with investigators. Support services are available for anyone affected.”
If you have any information, you are urged to contact the Langley RCMP at 604-532-3200 and quote file 2023-41605.
None of the charges has been tested in court, and a person charged with a crime is considered innocent until proven guilty.
A person named Isauro Flores, listed as a B.C. resident, was also sanctioned by Equestrian Canada in 2024. An online announcement said he had been essentially banned from any activities run by the organization, made “permanently ineligible to participate in any capacity in any program, activity, event, or competition sponsored by, organized by, or under the auspices of EC.”
The panel noted numerous breaches of the EC Code of Conduct and Ethics and also said “Flores has also engaged in grooming and sexual maltreatment.”
The ban was for life, but Flores could apply to be reinstated after 10 years.
