An East Gwillimbury man was charged after York Regional Police were told a woman was sexually assaulted at the Richmond Hill Wave Pool.
On Sept. 21, at about 1 p.m., a 26-year-old woman was sitting in the whirlpool when a man sat beside her and inappropriately touched her, police said Tuesday.
The woman was not hurt physically during the incident, police said.
Through an investigation, York sex crimes investigators linked a man to the incident and made an arrest last Thursday.
Roger Michael Harasymiw, 47, of East Gwillimbury is charged with sexual assault.
The charge has not been proven in court.
Mr. Harasymiw is scheduled for an appearance at the Newmarket courts Oct. 22.
