(PICTON, ON) – On Tuesday the 13th of December 2016, Prince Edward OPP officers were contacted by the Highland Shores Children’s Aid Society (CAS) with regards to a complaint of a child who had possibly been assaulted. The CAS had been contacted by a concerned teacher earlier in the day about a 4 yr old who had visible, unexplained bruising.
The subsequent investigation brought officers and CAS to a residence in Hallowell where a couple resided with 2 young children ages 4 and 8. The children were interviewed and a male party, the boyfriend of the children’s mother, was subsequently arrested for assaulting both kids.
A 38 year old Picton male has been charged with assault on both children and was later released from custody with conditions not to have contact with the children. He will appear in Picton court on the 4th of January 2017 to answer to the charges. To protect the victims, the name of the accused will not be released.
If you have any further information on this crime or any other crime please contact Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477)
