In November 2018, the Peterborough Police Service were informed about an alleged sexual assault which occurred in the Peterborough area in 2014. It’s alleged the accused threatened the victim.
“At the time of the offence both the victim and the accused were young persons and knew each other,” police said.

He was released and is scheduled to appear in a Peterborough court on Jan. 21.
Under the Youth Criminal Justice Act the name of a young person cannot be released, police said.
