Windsor police charge man after video of sexual child abuse posted on social media

A 29-year-old Windsor man is being charged after allegedly sexually abusing a three-year-old.

He was arrested two hours later in downtown Windsor.

The man, who can’t be named to protect the victim, has since been charged with sexual assault, sexual interference with a person under 16, making child pornography, possession of child pornography, and transmitting child pornography.
