A second victim has come forward in relation to an investigation regarding nude images that were leaked without consent, according to Winnipeg police.
The cybercrime report came in last April, police say. The domestic violence unit investigated and turned up a series of nude images which featured the reporting victim and another unknown woman.
In early September, publications identifying the suspect as 43-year-old David Alexander Zegarac were distributed after he was charged in relation to the images.
The release of his name led to a second woman identifying herself to police.
She told investigators that she was 16 or 17 when the suspect took intimate photos of her.
