A man is facing charges after a teen was sexually assaulted at a park in Vaughan last month.

Police say the incident happened at Agostino Park, near Confederation Parkway and Rutherford Road, around 9:30 p.m. on Sep. 22.

It is alleged a 15-year-old was at the park when they were approached by a male suspect. Police say the man touched the teen in a sexual manner.

Investigators say tips from the public led to them identifying a suspect. On Tuesday, 35-year-old Vaughan resident Irakli Logua was charged with sexual assault and sexual interference.

“Investigators with the York Regional Police Sexual Assault and Crimes Against Children Unit would like to thank the public and the media for their help in identifying a suspect,” said police in a Thursday release.

Police believe there could be more victims and have released photos of the suspect. Anyone with additional information is being asked to contact police.
