For the second time in less than eight months, Gagnon is the featured suspect in Sudbury Rainbow Crime Stoppers' Wanted Wednesday. Greater Sudbury Police were asking for the assistance of the public on April 25, 2018 in locating Gagnon, who had allegedly broke court-ordered conditions stemming from child pornography charges.

Gagnon was one of a group of people that were charged in the spring of 2016 with more than 60 child pornography offences as part of a Greater Sudbury Police initiative entitled Operation Continuing Intervention for Child Safety.
A total of 30 search warrants were executed from March to June. Gagnon's charge of making child pornography accessible covers the time period between Feb. 11, 2014 to March 19, 2015.
