A University of Manitoba professor has been arrested in connection with a historic sexual assault investigation, Winnipeg police say.
Oleg Pokhanovski, 55, turned himself in to police on July 29 after being charged with sexual exploitation and sexual assault for a series of incidents between December 2007 and March 2010.
Pokhanovski, who was in his 30s at the time of the incidents, is accused of grooming a 15-year-old student he was providing private music lessons to at the university.
Sexual assaults allegedly occurred off-campus, and police allege the professor continued trying to contact the girl via email after she attempted to end the situation.
