An alleged relationship between a 26-year-old Whitby man and a 14-year-old girl has resulted in several sex charges against the man.
According to police, at the beginning of December 2012, the Sexual Assault and Child Abuse Unit began investigating an alleged sexual assault involving a 14-year-old (now 15-year-old) girl. The investigation revealed she and the accused had known each other for sometime through personal contact at Dominion Miracle Centre, a church in Ajax. They also communicated via social media.
Recently, the relationship had intensified to the point where they met privately. It was during these times that the alleged sexual activity took place, police say.
Although the accused is not officially involved in the church, he is heavily involved in programs at the church, police add. On January 15 police arrested the accused at his home and now want to ensure there are no other victims.
