  "summary": "A 23-year-old man from Oshawa has been charged after a woman alleged she was drugged and sexually assaulted at his residence over the weekend. The incident occurred on September 19th when officers were called to Bond Street East and Wilson Road North following the victim's contact with police. She had agreed to meet the man through Snapchat, but during the evening, she claims she was drugged and assaulted inside the home. Police found her outside the residence and transported her to the hospital, where tests confirmed the presence of noxious substances in her system. The suspect, Nicholas Paul Lafrance, has been charged with sexual assault, administering a noxious substance, and forcible confinement, and is currently held for a bail hearing. Police are urging anyone with information to come forward as they are concerned there may be other victims.",
