TORONTO — A man is facing criminal charges after he allegedly sexually assaulted the same person, who he did not know, on three separate occasions in downtown Toronto.

Police say officers were called on Sunday afternoon for a report of a sexual assault.

They allege a man sexually assaulted someone during three separate occasions over a three-week period between July 1 and July 21.

A 21-year-old man from Toronto was arrested and charged with three counts of sexual assault, as well as criminal harassment and obstructing a peace officer.
