Canadian businessman Frank Stronach has been charged in connection with alleged sexual assaults that spanned over four decades, police west of Toronto announced on Friday.
Peel Regional Police released few details about the investigation but said in a news release that the alleged incidents occurred between the 1980s and 2023.
The 91-year-old billionaire from Aurora, Ont., was arrested on Friday and charged with rape, indecent assault on a female, forcible confinement and two counts of sexual assault.
In a statement issued to CTV News Toronto, Stronach’s lawyer, Brian Greenspan, said his client “categorically denies” the allegations.
“He looks forward to the opportunity to fully respond to the charges and maintain his legacy both (as) a philanthropist and as an icon of the Canadian business community,” Greenspan wrote.
Police said Stronach was released on conditions and is scheduled to appear at a Brampton court at a later date.
"We understand the significant public interest in this investigation. To protect the identity and privacy of the victims and to maintain the integrity of the judicial process, we will not be providing further information at this time," Peel police spokesperson Const. Tyler Bell-Morena said in an email to CTV News Toronto.
