Peel Regional Police say a 96-year-old Brampton man has been charged after two store employees were allegedly sexually assaulted.

Police said in a statement that the first incident happened in September when the man went to a store in the Highway 410 and Steeles Avenue East area.

“He asked an employee, a 19 year-old woman from Brampton, to assist him with trying on a shirt. When the victim refused, the suspect sexually assaulted her,” officers alleged.

Anyone with information about the investigation was asked to call police at 905-453–2121 ext. 3460 or Crime Stoppers anonymously at 1-800-222-8477.
