A 13-year-old boy has been charged with three counts of sexual assault in connection to three separate incidents.

On Wednesday, July 23, around 2:30 p.m., police say a male teenager sexually assaulted a female victim in her 30s, in the Grenon Ave. and Noren Ave. area, near the intersection of Richmond Rd. and Carling Ave.

Police say the alleged victim chased the suspect, and called police. The suspect was arrested a short time later.

The 13-year-old boy, who cannot be named, was also charged in connection to two separate sexual assaults reported last Monday, July 14, 2014.

The first assault happened around 2:30 p.m. in the 2800 block of Dumaurier Avenue when a woman in her late 30's was attacked. 

Just hours later, around 7 p.m., another woman, also in her 30's was attacked along a walking path near Richmond Road and Bayshore Drive.

Police say in both cases the female victims were walking when they were grabbed and sexually assaulted.

Neither victim knew the suspect.
