Ottawa Police Service announced Friday that they have charged an Ottawa man as part of an ongoing investigation into allegations of child sexual assaults.

According to police, the investigation began Feb. 1 when a victim came forward to report the abuse after police initially announced charges against the man for allegedly uploading child pornography on Jan. 30.
