- Administering a noxious substance with the intent to endanger life
- Making available sexual explicit material to a person under 16 years old
On Dec. 28, he was released on bail under strict conditions to not contact the victim.
As the investigation continued, investigators say they learned that he had once again contacted the victim. On Jan. 8, officers located the alleged victim at the suspect’s residence.
He was subsequently arrested and charged with the following:
- Sexual assault
- Sexual interference
- Assault with a weapon
- Telecommunication with a person under 16 years of age for a specific criminal offence
