Police are appealing for public assistance as they look into a child abuse case in Niagara Falls.

It was early this month when they started investigating the repeated sexual assault of a girl under 16-years old, by a man who was babysitting, for a 10-year period starting in 2014.

Yesterday, police arrested 31-year old Nygel Kovacs of Niagara Falls, charging him with sexual assault, sexual interference, and invitation to sexual touching.

He has a bail hearing today.

Police received information that he babysat other children, and there could be more victims.
