Hamilton police have made an arrest in what they say is a string of sexual assaults that were allegedly committed under a ruse involving real estate transactions.
Detectives say the investigation started last November after reports of two sexual assaults at homes in the area of Pearl and Peter streets.
On Monday, there was a similar complaint about an incident in the same area.
No one was physically injured in any of the incidents.
