Police say it concerns alleged assault against 3 people, including a young person

Two people from Niagara have been arrested in relation to the sexual assault of three separate victims over a 3-year period.

Police say this happened from 2022 to last year.

Yesterday, they arrested 39-year old James McManamon of Port Colborne, charging him with three counts of sexual assault.

They also picked up 29-year old Jennifer Harrigan of Niagara Falls, charging her with council sexual exploitation of a young person.

Police add she has worked in gymnastics and cheerleading, and police believe there could be more victims.

Both have bail hearings today.
