In September, officers from the Manitoulin Detachment of the Ontario Provincial Police responded to several allegations of inappropriate touching of minors by a person known to them in Gore Bay.

As a result of the investigation, a 55-year-old from Gore Bay has been charged with three counts of sexual assault, two counts of sexual exploitation, voyeurism, sexual interference and overcoming resistance or attempting to overcome resistance by administering drugs.

The accused in this case is scheduled to appear before the Ontario Court of Justice this month.

In a news release, the OPP said the accused's name has been withheld to protect the identity of the victims. The OPP is also no longer releasing the gender of accused individuals.
