Cyr's former common-law wife called police to report him after she discovered Cyr had a sexual relationship with the woman's 16-year-old relative.

The woman told police she had previously suspected Cyr was having a relationship with the teen but knew for sure after discovering what was on his phone.

The teen's younger brother accessed Cyr's phone in April while Cyr was asleep on the couch, according to his arrest affidavit.

The brother found explicit photos of the siblings on the phone, including Instagram messages they exchanged.
