A Fort Erie man has been charged with sexually abusing a minor.
The investigation began this month after Niagara Police investigated an allegation of child sexual abuse happening in a Fort Erie home.
Sean Schneider, 50, of Fort Erie has been charged with sexual assault on a person under 16 and sexual interference with a person under 16.
The police say the victim, an adolescent male, and Schneider knew each other. The investigation revealed that the suspect may have been operating an unlicensed babysitting/daycare service out of his home.
As a result of the investigation, detectives have reason to believe there may be additional victims.
He was arrested yesterday (July 6) and was held for a bail hearing.
