Blenheim man accused of exchanging drugs for sexual favours with underage girl

A 47-year-old Blenheim man is facing several assault and sex-related charges after police responded to a report of domestic violence in Harwich Township over the weekend.

Police said their initial investigation showed that on Saturday, a couple in Harwich Township got into an argument that escalated to the point where the man allegedly assaulted the woman.

Officers said they also allege that the man had previously threatened the woman during their relationship.

Police said while were investigating the report of domestic violence, they also learned that the man had allegedly been giving crystal methamphetamine to a young teenage girl in exchange for sexual favours.

The accused was arrested Sunday night in connection with the case and charged with uttering threats, two counts of assault, sexual assault, sexual interference, and invitation to sexual touching.

He was taken into custody pending a bail hearing.
