Police Seek Simcoe Sexual Assault Suspect

The OPP have released photos of a man they say sexually assaulted two teen girls and a woman at a restaurant in Simcoe.

Police were called to The Shire Restaurant on Queensway West after 8pm last Tuesday after a man approached a 2-year-old child and two teens, ages 13 and 16, sitting at a table. According to police, the man picked up the toddler, tried to kiss the 13-year-old, and hugged the 16-year-old. Police also allege that when the children's 41-year-old mother returned to the table, the man sexually assaulted her before leaving the restaurant.

The man is described as white, in his late 20s, approximately 5'10'', with an average build, and red/dirty blonde hair and beard. He was wearing a black coloured jacket, jeans, a black and white hat, and grey coloured shoes.

Anyone with information is asked to call police at 1-888-310-1122 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 (TIPS).
