Elderly Man Charged With Historic Sex Offences

A 79-year-old Sarnia man is charged with historic sexual offences involving female victims who were 7 years old at the time.

City police say the offences are alleged to have occurred in the 1970s and 1990s in Sarnia, and the victims, now in their 30s and 50s, were known to the accused.

Leonard Dennis was charged earlier this month, with intercourse with a female under 14 years, sexual interference, invitation to sexual touching, sexual exploitation, and incest.

He is to appear in court September 4.

Anyone with further information about the alleged offences, or other offences, is asked to call Detective Constable Sam Sulaiman of the Sarnia Police Service Criminal Investigations Branch at 519-344-8861, extension 6132.
