CLEVELAND — A Stark County Township man was arrested Thursday on charges of sexually assaulting multiple children, authorities announced.
Charles Link, 71 of Plain Township, was taken into custody by members of the Summit County Sheriff's Office and charged with five first-degree felony counts of rape of a victim under the age of 13. Link is accused of sexually assaulting multiple children in the city of Green between 2000 and 2012.
