Ottawa police say more charges have been laid against an 82-year-old man as part of an investigation into allegations of sexual assaults involving children dating back to the 1970s.
Police initially charged a suspect in May with four counts of indecent assault on a female related to alleged incidents between 1972 and 1975.
