- Nine counts of sexual assault on a person under 16 years of age
- Assault with a weapon
- Failure to comply with an undertaking
Then on May 8, police were notified that the teen was again communicating with one of the previous victims by way of messaging via the social media platform Snapchat. Consequently, the 13-year-old was charged with two counts of failure to comply with the undertaking.
The accused was scheduled to appear before the Ontario Court of Justice Bail Court in Blind River today.
