The Sault Ste. Marie and East Algoma Ontario Provincial Police Crime Units arrested a 33-year-old man following a sexual assault investigation on Whitefish Island in Batchewana First Nation.
The investigation began on Sept. 30 when police received a complaint of a sexual assault.
“An extensive police investigation and canvassing revealed the identity of the accused,” the OPP said in a news release.
As a result, Muhammet Kamacihan of Searchmont was charged with:
- Sexual assault
- Fail to comply with probation order - two counts
The accused was held for a bail hearing and remains in custody.
None of the allegations have been tested in court and the accused is considered innocent until proven guilty.
This is not the first time Kamacihan has been charged with sexual assault.
In 2018 he was kicked out of Alberta after pleading guilty to sexually assaulting a 14-year-old girl who became pregnant at 15 years old, according to a story in the Calgary Herald.
“The sooner he drives back to Ontario, the better,” Crown prosecutor Joe Mercier told the judge in July 2018.
