An investigation by Port Hope police has led to multiple sex-related charges being laid against a Cobourg man.
The Port Hope Police Service said Thursday that an investigation was launched last month after officers received a complaint detailing allegations against the accused.
Investigators say the reported incidents date back to 2017 and 2018.
Police allege there were several encounters of a “sexual nature” between the victim and the suspect during that time.
