Windsor police have arrested a 45-year-old man twice related to the alleged sexual assault of a 15-year-old girl.

Members of the Major Crimes Unit launched an investigation in December after receiving a report that a 15-year-old girl had been sexually assaulted by a man.

Investigators learned that the suspect connected with the victim on a social media platform. Police say the victim entered a sexual relationship with the man for just over a month.

On Dec. 27, officers arrested the man at a residence in the 10000 block of Eastcourt Drive. At that time, he was charged with the following:

  • Sexual assault
  • Sexual interference
  • Assault
  • Assault with a weapon
  • Forcible confinement
  • 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
  • Printing, publishing or possessing child pornography
  • Possession of child pornography for unlawful purpose
  • Mischief under $5,000
  • Breach of release conditions (x 3)
