Canadian billionaire Frank Stronach faces 8 additional criminal charges, including sexual assault
Peel Regional Police say Stronach arrested and charged on Wednesday
Canadian billionaire Frank Stronach has been charged with additional criminal offences, including sexual assault, Peel Regional Police said Wednesday.
"Investigators from the Peel Regional Police, Special Victims Unit, have identified additional victims and additional charges have been laid," Peel Const. Tyler Bell-Morena told CBC News in an emailed statement.
Bell-Morena said the newly announced charges include six counts of sexual assault, as well as two other criminal counts.
Police did not specify what years the further allegations stem from. A Peel police spokesperson declined to say how many additional alleged victims may be involved, and where Stronach, 91, was arrested on Wednesday.
One alleged victim reached out to police within hours of the first charges being announced, a source familiar with the case told CBC News.
The source said the alleged victim called investigators the morning of June 8, after Peel Regional Police issued a news release the previous evening, announcing sexual assault charges against Stronach. Peel’s special victims unit asked anyone with information about the case to come forward.
