Chatham sexual assault suspect opts for trial

A Windsor man charged with sexual assault after a firearm-related incident in Chatham will be going to trial next year.

Serena Granville, 28, of Windsor, will have his trial on June 25, July 26, and July 27, 2027 in Chatham court.

Granville is back in custody at the Windsor jail after pleading guilty earlier this month to breaching his bail conditions. He was released on bail in June.

Granville was arrested in late May after residents in Chatham were forced to shelter in place.

He was charged with pointing a firearm, uttering death threats, possession of a weapon for a dangerous purpose, sexual assault, kidnapping, and failing to comply with a release order.

It's alleged he went to an address on Queen's Line just west of Bloomfield Road on May 24 searching for an 18-year-old female, removing her against her will, and sexually assaulting her.

Granville is also alleged to have breached a court-ordered release condition stemming from sexual assault charges in Owen Sound and is facing theft charges in Windsor.
