A security guard at a Newmarket hospital is facing sexual assault charges after two victims came forward with allegations.
York Regional Police say officers began investigating in July after a 16-year-old girl reported she was sexually assaulted by a security guard from Southlake Regional Health Centre.
The girl told police she knew him from a previous visit to the hospital, and that he allegedly sexually assaulted her off hospital grounds after he finished work.
