A 26-year-old man from southern Ontario – who was supposed to be under house arrest – is facing multiple sexual assault-related charges in northern Ontario following an incident on Saturday.
At approximately 4 p.m. on July 8, officers in Sudbury were dispatched to a report of a sexual assault.
“Information provided was that a youth in our community met an individual from southern Ontario through a social media application,” said Greater Sudbury police in a news release Monday.
“The individual had traveled to Greater Sudbury to meet the youth.”
The suspect picked up the victim in a vehicle and drove to an empty parking lot where they threaten the youth and sexually assaulted them before heading back to southern Ontario, said police.
“Due to the sensitive nature of the incident and to protect the identity of the youth, no further information related to the youth will be provided,” said police.
Based on the information collected a Greater Sudbury police officer conducted a traffic stop on a vehicle matching the victim’s description on Regent Street.
