A Coquitlam piano teacher is facing more charges including sexual assault and sexual interference involving a minor as a result of an RCMP investigation that began in February.
Dmytro ‘Dmitri’ Kubyshkin, 67, is now facing 10 charges up from three as a result of victims coming forward about crimes that allegedly took place between 1998 and 2015 in the Tri-Cities.
Seven of the charges are for sexual assault and three are for sexual interference regarding a minor, according to Coquitlam RCMP.
“The investigation is still very much active, we are encouraging anyone to come talk to us if they haven’t, if they believe he may have committed crimes against them,” said Cpl. Michael McLaughlin.
Kubyshkin, who is due to return to court June 8, is not allowed to teach piano to anyone under the age of 18 and cannot be alone with anyone under the age of 18, McLaughlin said.
However, he can teach adults as long as they are fully aware of the 10 charges against him and his bail supervisor is also informed, McLaughlin said.
