York Regional Police have charged a 59-year-old Coldwater man in connection with historical sexual assaults that investigators say happened in Georgina.

Police began an investigation in October and say the accused lived in East Gwillimbury and Georgina when the alleged assaults happened.

The suspect has been charged with two counts of sexual assault and sexual interference involving a person under the age of 14.

A sexual assault includes any non-consensual contact of a sexual nature.

Investigators urge potential additional victims or witnesses to come forward.

They say there is no statute of limitations for sexual offences, and offenders can be prosecuted well after the date of the crime, and encourage victims to report incidents of sexual assault, including historical offences.

Anyone with information about this investigation is asked to contact the York Regional Police Special Victims Unit at 1-866-876-5423, ext 7071, or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.
