Superior East Ontario Provincial Police say they responded to a domestic dispute - specifically a "threats occurrence" - on Pine Street shortly before 8 pm last Wednesday, with subsequent investigation leading to the arrest of a 15-year-old from Chapleau on charges of: sexual assault on a person under 16 years of age; uttering threats to damage property; three counts of uttering threats to cause death or bodily harm; two counts of failure to comply with release order; and two of failure to comply with probation order.

The teen - who cannot be identified under the Youth Criminal Justice Act - was released from custody, but is set to appear in court this month.
