Man, 30, charged with sexual assault after alleged incident in Sandy Hill

Ottawa police have charged a 30-year-old man with sexual assault after an alleged incident at a home in Sandy Hill in June.

Earlier this month, police received a report about a 26-year-old woman who was invited to a man's home after meeting him through an online dating site. 

In a news release, police said the woman was sexually assaulted in the home, but could not provide any further details in order to ensure the privacy of the victim. 

Investigators from the sexual assault and child abuse unit are reportedly concerned there could be other victims and have asked anyone with information to contact the team at 613-236-1222, ext. 5944 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.
