An 18-year-old man is facing multiple sexual assault and criminal harassment charges after nine incidents where women were targeted in the Bedford, N.S., area this month.
Halifax Regional Police said the incidents took place between Aug. 9 and 26 at the Kearney Lake Dam Trail, a trail on Amesbury Gate and in the Broad Street area.
In each case, police said the suspect approached a woman and “touched her in a sexual manner or criminally harassed her.”
