A 28-year-old man is facing sex charges in connection with an alleged incident at a sports facility in Cole Harbour, N.S.
RCMP responded to Cole Harbour Place around 6 p.m. Monday after receiving a complaint about a man at the facility.
Staff had escorted the man out of the building before police arrived on scene.
Police learned the man had jumped into the hot tub while fully clothed. Staff members also reported that the man made inappropriate comments while he was escorted from the building.
