Northern Ont. teen, 13, facing new sexual assault charge, 10 total

The teen has been arrested several times in an ongoing sexual assault investigation and the latest was June 6.

To date, a total of seven people of similar age have accused him of sexual assault, Ontario Provincial Police told CTV News.
Two assault charges have also been laid June 6 against the teen in connection to a complaint received last month.
He is also charged with mischief in connection to a complaint that the accused damaged the victim's cellphone.
