NEWMARKET, Ont. - A 23-year-old Newmarket, Ont., man is facing charges following an alleged series of sexual assaults on a 13-year-old girl.

York Regional Police say they began investigating last month after receiving a report that an adult man was engaging in sexual conversations with a young teen.

Investigators allege the man had sexual contact with the girl on more than one occasion between December 2015 and January 2016.

Kevin Kong is to appear in court in Newmarket on Feb. 17 facing three counts of sexual assault and one count each of invitation to sexual touching and sexual interference.

Police say they believe the accused may have been in contact with a number of young girls and are asking anyone with information to contact investigators.
