An 86-year-old Pembroke, Ont., man has been charged with more than a dozen offences including sexual assault on a minor following a months-long investigation by the Ontario Provincial Police.
The OPP said Tuesday they began investigating in June after a complaint was lodged regarding the inappropriate sexual conduct of a “lifelong Pembroke resident.”
The investigation identified six victims with offences spanning from the 1950s to 2020 in the Renfrew County area.
The accused’s name is being withheld to protect the identities of the victims, OPP said.
