OSHAWA, Ont. — Police say an 82-year-old man who lived at an Oshawa, Ont., home that functioned as a daycare is facing multiple charges in a sexual assault investigation.

Police say the investigation found reports of alleged sexual assaults that occurred between 1967 and 1991. 

They say the man that was charged lived in a home that functioned as a daycare in Oshawa. 

Police are urging anyone who had children at the home during those years to come forward if they have concerns.
