Ottawa police have charged a 34-year-old Ottawa man for allegedly committing an indecent act in the Kanata Wave Pool change room.

Police say officers responded to the Kanata Leisure Centre at 70 Aird Place just after 3 p.m. Saturday for a report of a man masturbating in the male change room. Someone also reported this incident happened near a 10-year-old boy.

Police said the suspect fled the building after City of Ottawa staff initiated a lockdown of the leisure centre, but he was arrested by officers a short distance away.

The man appeared in court on Sunday for a show cause hearing on two counts of indecent act and one count of mischief. He was then released from custody with conditions.

Anyone with information about this or related incidents is asked to contact Ottawa police at 613-236-1222, ext. 5944 or Crime Stoppers at 613-233-8477.
