The Windsor Police Service has charged a correctional officer with the alleged sexual assault of an inmate at a local detention centre.

Authorities say they were alerted earlier this month about alleged offences between May and November of this year while the officer was assigned to supervise female inmates.

The correctional officer is a 47-year-old man.

Investigators with Windsor police believe there may be additional victims who have not yet come forward. Anyone who believes they may have been sexually assaulted or victimized is urged to contact them.
