The executive director of Surrey Metis Family Services was arrested Wednesday and flown to Toronto to face child sexual assault charges.

Bill Lee, 67, was inside the office of the Surrey advocacy society when police executed a Canada-wide warrant that had been issued for a pair of assaults that occurred in the 1970s.

According to Toronto police, the victims who came forward with information a week and a half ago, were between six and 11 years old at the time of the alleged assaults.

Lee has been charged with five counts of indecent assault and two counts of buggery.He was named executive director of the Surrey group in 2003.

Ron Shortt, now the acting executive director for Metis Services, said Lee had no unsupervised contact with children during his stint in Surrey.

“He didn’t have a case load of his own. His duties were more of the administrative type,” Shortt said.

Toronto police fear there may be more victims. Lee has worked across Canada and his job has put him in direct contact with children.

He is scheduled to appear in a Toronto court today (Wednesday).

Anyone with information about Lee is asked to call police at 416-808-5105 or CrimeStoppers at 416-222-TIPS or online at www.222tips.com
