As a result, a 58-year-old man who lives in Bruce County was charged with 10 counts of sexual assault, seven counts of sexual interference and eight counts of sexual exploitation.

Here are the differences between each type of charge:

The accused was arrested on Feb. 9, held for a "show cause hearing" and has since been released with an upcoming court date at the end of the month.
