DNA evidence leads to charges in 2006 sex assault case

OTTAWA -- Ottawa Police say DNA evidence led them to laying charges in connection with a sexual assault case from 2006.

Police allege a teenage girl was sexually assaulted in April 2006, while walking in the area of Carnegie Street and Dakota Avenue. She did not know her alleged attacker.

Police now say a DNA sample recently helped them identify a suspect.

Troy John Mordy, 53, of Smiths Falls, is facing one count of sexual assault.

Investigators believe there could be other victims.
