Hamilton Police have accused a 27-year-old man of committing a sexual assault that took place a decade ago.

A youth at the time of the alleged attack, the man’s identity is protected under the Youth Criminal Justice Act.

Police alleged that early on  Aug. 14, 2015, the victim was walking alone near the Quigley Rd.-Veevers Dr. area in western Hamilton when she was pulled into a wooded area and sexually assaulted.

Police say the woman escaped, kicking her attacker in the face with her boot. DNA evidence was collected from the boot, but no match was found at the time.

In December 2021, a DNA match was identified, resulting in an arrest on March 4, 2025.

The woman allegedly went to several banks, between Feb. 25, 2022 and Aug. 17, 2023, and used fraudulent identification to withdraw more than $72,000 from victims’ accounts, said police.
