A 21-year-old Calgary man faces charges for allegedly touching women's feet inappropriately.
Police say it happened four times — the first incident happened in January and the latest in July.
On each occasion, a man approached a middle-aged women in a grocery store or shopping mall parking lots.
He would admire their pedicure, express interest in buying one for his girlfriend and then ask for a closer look when the assault occurred.
Police charged the man with three counts of assault and one count of sexual assault.
He appears in court Monday.
