London police say a suspect has been arrested and charged after a teenaged girl was sexually assaulted as she waited for a bus.
It happened the afternoon of Wednesday, September 30 in the area of Hamilton Road and Rectory Street. Police say a man approached the girl and starting talking to her. He offered her a mask as she didn't have one and when she said no, offered her a ride home.
She declined the offer and that's when police say he touched her in an inappropriate manner before driving away.
Police announced on Thursday that a suspect had been arrested. A 31-year-old man is charged with one count of sexual assault.
“The safety and well-being of the residents of London is of paramount concern to our officers,” said Detective Sergeant Sean Sussex, head of the Sexual Assault and Child Abuse Section. “We want to thank the citizens and area business owners who responded to our requests for information in this matter, which assisted tremendously with this investigation. This is a great example of the community working together with police to help solve a crime.”
The accused has been released from custody with a court date of December 29,
