A Wingham youth minister is facing numerous sexual assault charges.
Huron County OPP say the charges stem from incidents earlier this year against a teen-aged victim.
According to police, the accused works as a Youth Ministry Director for a church in Wingham, and is also a Youth Director for a faith-based youth program in the North Huron town.
29 year old Simon Chiarello has been charged with seven counts each of sexual assault and sexual exploitation.
He remains in custody.
