Man Charge in 1990's Sex Offences


Provincial Police in Fort Frances have charged an area man in connection with a series of sex offences, some dating back almost twenty years ago.


43-year-old Garry Donald Mathewson was to appear in a Fort Frances courtroom Thursday on eleven counts of sexual exploitation and a charge of sexual interference.


Police say the charges relate to incidents that took place within the Rainy River and Thunder Bay districts between 1992 and 1999 involving three men who were in their early teens at the time.


Mathewson was arrested last week in Vancouver and returned to Fort Frances where he's currently in custody.
