A Cobourg man has been charged with historical sexual assault charges involving a minor.
Durham police launched an investigation in July after an individual came forward with sexual assault allegations. It’s alleged the victim was sexually assaulted on three separate occasions between January 2001 and June 2006.
The individual was a minor at the time, police said.
The investigation led to the arrest of Todd Reader, 51, of Cobourg. He has been charged with two counts each of sexual assault, sexual interference and exposure to a person under 14 years.
He was held for a bail hearing.
Police advise Reader is known to have owned and operated several restaurants including one in Cobourg.
