A Perth man who once operated a group home in Westport has been charged with over a dozen sexual offences that occurred between 1995 and 2006. In July 2016, the OPP's Leeds County Crime Unit commenced an investiga- tion after a report was received of a historical sexual assault. The subsequent investi- gation resulted in the iden- tification of four victims. On Sept. 15, 2016, the Leeds County OPP Crime Unit arrested and charged a 53-year old man. Police have charged Timothy Patrick O'Neill with one count of Invita- tion to sexual touching; four counts of sexual assault; five counts of sex- ual exploitation; and three counts of sexual interfer- ence. The accused was released from custody on a promise to appear and officer-in-charge under- taking with conditions. He was scheduled to appear in the Brockville Court Oct. 14, but was remanded to Nov. 4.
