-

City police arrested one man and are looking for possible other victims after a teenager was allegedly sexually assaulted and forcibly confined in a vehicle.

Police say a teenaged girl standing outside a George Street North restaurant was offered a ride home by a stranger at about 3:20 a.m. on Nov. 11.

The girl was allegedly sexually assaulted and prevented from leaving the vehicle before the man dropped her back off on George Street. The incident was later reported to police.

A suspect was located Monday near Brock and George streets and was arrested. Mostafa Alkhalil, 40, of McDonnel Street, was charged with sexual assault and forcible confinemen­t. Police believe there may be other victims out there.

The suspect is described as having a shorter build and short, dark hair with dark facial hair. He speaks with a Middle Eastern accent and drives a dark-coloured vehicle.

Anyone with informatio­n can call Det. Const. Mike Stephens at 705-876-1122. Alkahalil was held in custody and was to appear in court Tuesday.
