Suspect sought after sexual assault of youth 

The Windsor Police Service is asking for the public’s help to identify a suspect after the sexual assault of a 15-year-old girl.  

On September 14, 2026, officers responded to a report of an assault in the 1100 block of Parent Avenue. The investigation determined that the previous day, the youth was sitting on a public bench near Riverside Drive East and Parent Avenue when she was approached by an unknown man. 

The man reportedly spat toward the youth and then threw a lit cigarette, which struck her ankle. He then touched the youth in a sexual manner as she repeatedly pushed his hands away. 

The victim took a photo of the suspect before leaving the area in a vehicle driven by a relative. The suspect followed them in an older-model blue minivan until the relative was able to lose sight of the vehicle. 

The suspect is described as a white male, approximately 30 to 40 years old, with a tall build. He was wearing a black hoodie with red and grey colouring at the time of the incident. 

The suspect is wanted for assault with a weapon, sexual assault, and sexual interference. 

Anyone with information is asked to contact the Child Abuse and Sexual Assault Unit (CASA) at 519-255-6700, ext. 4903. They can also contact Windsor & Essex County Crime Stoppers anonymously at 519-258-8477 or online at catchcrooks.com.
