Provincial police say an eastern Ontario man is facing charges following an investigation into alleged sexual offences dating from 1986 and 1987.

They say the investigation began earlier this year after a man reported being a victim of a sexual assault.

Police say a 49-year-old Wolford Township man was arrested on Wednesday.

Robert Farnsworth is charged with sexual assault and gross indecency.

Farnsworth was to appear in court in Brockville, Ont., on Thursday.

OPP are asking anyone with information about the case to contact investigators.
