New charges have been filed against Vernon-area resident Curtis Wayne Sagmoen for alleged crimes against sex workers, police say. "The [Major Crimes Unit] was made aware of a number of allegations of violence by Okanagan-area female sex workers," Moskaluk said. Moskaluk expressed his gratitude for the forthcoming responses from sex trade workers about incidents of violence. "We do believe there are other victims and witnesses to similar, unreported incidents who have not come forward yet," he said. Police say Sagmoen will appear in a Vernon court for the new charges on Feb. 19.
