A Brooklyn, N.S., man is facing sexual assault charges involving youths and police believe there may be other victims who haven’t come forward yet.
Yarmouth Town RCMP say they began their investigation in January after receiving reports of alleged sexual assaults dating between 2001 and 2004 “involving the owner and operator of a taxi business known as ‘Classic Cabs.'”
“At this time, investigators have identified two victims who were youths at the time of the offences,” RCMP said in a release.
