Owen Sound Police have charged an 81 year old Owen Sound man in relation to a sexual assault investigation.
According to police, two young girls were allegedly touched inappropriately in a sexual manner on an area school bus.
Police say, the man, (who they did not name) who was employed as a school bus monitor for a local company providing school bus transportation services, appeared in court on May 18th charged with two counts of sexual assault and two counts of sexual interference.
Police say the man has been fired from his duties as a school bus monitor. Police say they believe he was only associated with a single bus route which serviced three area Catholic schools.
They say school officials have directly notified parents of children on that route.
Owen Sound Police say their investigation will continue in order to determine whether any further victims may be involved or whether any other students on the bus route may have observed anything relevant to the investigation.
Police add, no students will be contacted directly by police, should any follow up be required it will be coordinated jointly through the school and parents.
The allegations have not been proven in court.
