A Barrie, Ont., ride-share driver is facing sexual assault charges involving his passenger in Wasaga Beach, police say.

Officers were called around 2 a.m. Sunday after receiving a report of a sexual assault. Police say the victim and the accused were not known to each other.

As a result of the investigation, a 58-year-old man has been charged with two counts of sexual assault.

Police say he was held for a bail hearing and is expected to appear in court this July.

Investigators believe there may be other victims and are asking anyone with information to contact them at 1-888-310-1122.

The allegations against the accused have not been proven in court.
