According to Crown prosecutors, it was only in recent years, with the help of cutting-edge genetic genealogy analysis carried out in the U.S., that police here were able to identify a suspect.

A jury has now heard sixty-seven-year-old Richard Neal faces more than a dozen charges, including sexual assault and kidnapping.

He has pleaded not guilty.

A Crown attorney told jurors fingerprint analysis also links Neal to all three crime scenes and that lurid videos and pictures were found on his electronic devices.
