Man Charged With 20-Year-Old Sex Assault

A Newmarket man has been charged by York Regional Police with the sexual assault of a young girl two decades ago.
The girl, who was eight years old at the time, was allegedly victimized while visiting the man's daughter — who was the same age — at a Newmarket home between January 1986 and December 1987.
According to police, the incident was reported on behalf of the victim by a family member in November 2006.
Dennis Renner of Newmarket was arrested at his home Wednesday and is charged with sexual assault.
