A Toronto man is facing charges after an alleged historical sexual assault dating back to 2003 at an Ontario deaf camp near Parry Sound.
Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) confirmed that investigators with West Parry Sound OPP began looking into the allegations in February 2023.
Authorities noted that the sexual assault occurred in August 2003 at The Bob Rumball Camp of the Deaf in Seguin Township.
Police identified 54-year-old Steve Burrows of Toronto as the accused, who would have been 34 years old at the time of the alleged sexual assault at the camp.
It’s unclear if the Toronto man was working at the camp.
Burrows is facing multiple charges, including sexual assault and sexual exploitation. The accused will appear in an Ontario court at a later date.
To assist the ongoing investigation, OPP issued a media release in American Sign Language (ASL).
