Registered sex offender Daniel Senecal faces a new charge to go with the five already laid after a three-year-old girl was sexually assaulted in her Welland, Ont., home.

In St. Catharines court Wednesday morning, the 25-year-old was charged with breach of probation during a brief appearance via video, wearing green jail garb from the Toronto South Detention Centre.

Asked whether he understood the new charge, Senecal replied "yes."

The accused also faces charges of aggravated sexual assault and sexual interference on a person under 16, break and enter, choking and assault.

When arrested on Aug. 31, Senecal was serving a year of probation for an unrelated incident, which required him "to keep the peace and be of good behaviour," court heard Wednesday. WATCH | Outrage after Ontario sex
