A man from Niagara Falls is facing multiple charges in a recent child abuse investigation.

Earlier this month, Niagara Regional Police began investigating allegations of sexual assault involving a 13 year old female.

The investigation led police to arrest 39 year old Niagara Falls man Mario Bozza.

He’s charged with sexual assault, sexual interference, abduction of a person under 14, invitation to sexual touching, and exposing genitals.

Bozza is currently being held in custody pending a bail hearing on Friday, September 9 at the Robert S.K. Welch Courthouse in St. Catharines.

“It is believed that the suspect was driving a distinctive vehicle during the commission of the offence, a 2019 light Ford Mustang with licence plate CHFY 702, aftermarket exhaust, black tint and black rims,” said police.

Detectives believe social media was used to contact further victims.

Anyone with information that might assist the investigation is asked to contact police at 905-688-4111, dial option 3, ext 1009538.
