Ontario Provincial Police say a British Columbia man has been arrested in a historic sexual assault investigation spanning nearly three decades and involving four alleged victims, three of whom were teens at the time.
Police allege four females were sexually assaulted in separate incidents in Lambton County, Kent County and Sarnia between March and August 1997, and three of them ranged in age from 15 to 16.
They allege that in each case, the suspect used a vehicle to take the victims to a remote location before committing the assault and driving away, leaving them at the site of the attack.
Police say advancements in DNA technology have led to the arrest of a 52-year-old man from Campbell River, B.C.
They say he faces 15 charges, including three counts of sexual assault and four counts of forcible confinement.
Police have released photos of the suspect from 1996 and 2025, and anyone with information is urged to contact investigators.
