Ottawa police have released the photo of a suspect charged in connection to an alleged sexual assault on Colonel By Drive. Last month, police arrested 50-year-old David Cheddesingh. The alleged assault happened in the late evening of March 28 under the Mackenzie King Bridge. On Wednesday, police released his photo for public awareness, “given the vulnerability of potential victims and the possibility there may be additional victims.” Police say he is known to wear black-framed glasses. Investigators believe there could be additional victims and are asking anyone with information to come forward. Anyone with information is asked to contact the Ottawa Police Service Sexual Assault and Child Abuse Unit at 613-236-1222, extension 5944, or email saca@ottawapolice.ca, and reference case number 26-81161. Anonymous tips can be submitted by calling Crime Stoppers toll-free at 1-800-222-8477 or at crimestoppers.ca.
