Police say the man was identified after a detailed investigation. As a result, a 27-year-old man from Saugeen Shores has been arrested and charged with three counts of indecent exposure to a person under 16 years of age, three counts of sexual assault on a person under 16 years of age and failure to comply with a probation order.

The man was subsequently released on a release order with conditions and a future court date. The charges have not been proven in court.

Due to a publication ban to protect the victims' identities, police will not release any further information at this time.

Police released info on this and another crime involving a minor on Tuesday.
