Oshawa man charged in connection with historic assault of a minor
A 66-year-old man is facing charges after allegedly sexually assaulting minor, now adult, over the course of 28 years.

Officers said the victim, now an adult, spoke with police to report a series of sexual assaults that occurred from 1996 to the present year.
As a result of their investigation, police arrested a man from Oshawa, and charged him with four counts of sexual assault and one count of sexual exploitation. The charges have not been tested in court.
Police did not disclose the accused's identity or how they know each other to protect the victim's identity, adding that they believe the alleged assaults were isolated.
