Burlington Man Charged In South-London Sex Assault

London police say a man is charged after a woman reported being sexually assaulted by a man she met on a dating website.

According to police, the 29-year-old woman met the man on the website a few weeks before the assault occurred. They exchanged information and photographs and agreed to an in-person meeting. The victim says, when they met, the man threatened to release her photographs if she didn't comply with his demands.

"The victim reported she was taken to a hotel room where she was forcibly confined and sexually assaulted," police said in a statement issued Wednesday. "After the assault, the victim was able to contact police."

A police investigation led to the arrest of Jeffrey K. Reimer, 43, of Burlington.

He is charged with sexual assault with a weapon, forcible confinement, extortion, attempt to obstruct justice, and using a computer with intent to commit a computer offence.
