Man Faces Sex Charges

A 61-year-old London man is facing accusations he sexually assaulted two girls.

London police say Edward Craig was arrested after an investigation into allegations from a pre-teen girl who said she had been touched inappropriately by a man she knew. Craig was charged with one count of sexual assault and one count of sexual interference.

A second investigation was launched into allegations from another girl. It is alleged Craig sexually assaulted her on a number of occasions until she reached her mid-teens. The assaults are alleged to have happened between 2005 and 2012.

That investigation led to charges against Craig of sexual assault, sexual interference, and invitation to sexual touching.

Police are still investigating and are asking anyone with information to contact them at 519-661-5670 or call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS.
