Child abuse investigators have charged a former pastor in connection with a sexual assault dating back to 1994.

The charges came after the victim contacted police to report a series of sexual assaults that allegedly occurred during counselling sessions with a pastor.

Wagdi Yousif Iskander, 52, of Calgary, is charged with sexual assault and sexual interference with a child under 14.

At the time the abuse allegedly occurred, Iskander was the pastor of the Arabic Baptist Church, which used space at the Cambrian Heights Baptist Church.
