Several charges have been laid over a Chapleau domestic disturbance.
Superior East Ontario Provincial Police say they responded to the disturbance on Pine Park Road shortly after 4 o'clock Saturday afternoon, with a subsequent sexual assault investigation leading to the arrest of a Chapleau 52-year-old on charges of sexual assault, spousal assault with a weapon, spousal assault, and uttering threats to cause death - spousal.
The accused - who will not be identified due to the domestic nature of the incident, to protect the victim - was held for a bail hearing and remanded from custody.
Police emphasize victims of sexual assault are not alone and there are local resources to help, such as Wawa and Area Victim Services, which supports "all communities in Superior East".
