A Lindsay man is facing multiple charges including kidnapping and sexual assault.
On Thursday (May 23), Kawartha Lakes police received a complaint of a sexual assault, and the Criminal Investigations Branch were able to quickly identify a suspect. Police then executed a search warrant at a Lindsay residence, where the Forensic Identification Unit gathered physical evidence.
As a result of the investigation, police arrested a 33-year-old Lindsay man and charged him with kidnapping, sexual interference, sexual assault, assault, assault cause bodily harm, uttering threats to cause death or bodily harm, and invitation to sexual touching.
Police believe this to be an isolated incident and there is no further threat to public safety.
The accused man is being held in custody and will appear at the Ontario Court of Justice in Lindsay on Friday.
Police are not naming the accused man so as to protect the identity of the victim.
