A Cobourg, Ont., man faces multiple new voyeurism charges as part of an ongoing police investigation.
According to the Cobourg Police Service, in the summer of 2021, investigators first launched their investigation following a report for a woman who said a man was following her around a store. The woman said the man used his cellphone to take an “inappropriate recording” of her.
Police identified the suspect and executed a search warrant at his residence.
On Sept. 3, 2021, the man was arrested and charged with one count each of voyeurism, sexual assault and criminal harassment.
