A man from Kitchener has been arrested and charged, tied to a string of sexual assault incidents at a local park in the city.
The details come from Waterloo Regional Police Service (WRPS), with incidents stretching back as far as Jul. 14 and as recently as Oct. 5.
According to police, investigators were looking to identify a suspect tied to three cases in that span, each reported in the area of Lakeside Park and Lakeside Trail.
The specific dates of the reported cases include:
- Jul. 14, 2026, at approximately 6 p.m.
- Sept. 25, 2026, at approximately 2:30 p.m.
- Oct. 5, 2026, at approximately 4:45 p.m.
While further details on the incidents themselves are limited out of protection for the victims involved, WRPS has said it led to the arrest of a man in connection on Sunday, Oct. 18.
That man, a 28-year-old from Kitchener, has since been charged with three counts of sexual assault.
He was held in custody for a bail hearing, with the investigation still ongoing.
Anyone with further details on the incidents or any others is asked to contact regional police at 519-570-9777, extension 8348.
