A 28-year-old former Oakville youth pastor has been charged in an alleged sexual assault of a teen.
The Halton police Child Abuse and Sexual Assault Unit received a complaint from the Meeting House, a 2700 Bristol Circle church, in early July that prompted an investigation into a male employee.
An arrest was made on July 11.
Halton police Sgt. Chantal Corner said the alleged victim is a 17-year-old girl.
Corner would not comment on the details of when or where the alleged assault took place.
Sandra Neufeld, communications director with The Meeting House, confirmed this morning the accused is no longer working at the church.
