Taylor was arrested in March 2017 and charged with sexual assault and sexual interference. Later that year, 12 additional charges, involving four other victims, were laid.
He was also charged by Windsor police after more victims came forward with complaints that occurred in the 1970s and 1980s.
Taylor was an officer with Windsor police between 1972 and 1979. He was also involved in a number of community activities that involved children and youth.
