A University of Manitoba professor has been arrested in connection

A University of Manitoba professor has been arrested in connection with a historic sexual assault investigation, Winnipeg police say.

Олег Похановски, 55 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 relationship.
