A 44-year-old Brantford man has been charged with aggravated sexual assault.

Police allege the man deliberately exposed two women to a communicable disease by having unprotected sex with them.

Police say the incidents took place between March and May of this year.

They say the women were unknowingly exposed to the disease.

Investigators say there may be other people who had sex with the accused and are asking those concerned to contact them.

Gary Dale Beckford (Dice) is charged with two counts of aggravated sexual assault.

Police say any members of our community who believe they may have been exposed to a communicable disease are encouraged to immediately seek medical attention, either with their family physician or the Brant County Health Unit.

Anyone with information in relation to this crime is asked to contact Sgt. Keith Tollar at 519-756-7050 x 2264 or Detective Grant Davies at 519-756-7050 x 2277.
