A man in Toronto is facing new charges for allegedly sexually assaulting multiple young persons under his care.
According to police, the accused, who cannot be named to protect the identities of the victims, was initially arrested in May 2021 for sexually assaulting a young person under the age of 16. However, as the investigation continued, more victims came forward and additional charges were laid.
The accused is now facing a total of 10 charges, including sexual assault, sexual interference, and sexual exploitation. The alleged assaults are said to have taken place between 2015 and 2021, and the victims are all under the age of 16.
Police are urging anyone with information or who may have been a victim to come forward and speak to investigators. They also want to remind the public that there may be more victims who have not yet come forward.
The accused is currently in custody and is scheduled to appear in court on July 29. Police are concerned that there may be more victims, and are asking anyone with information to contact them immediately.
This case serves as a reminder to parents and caregivers to always be vigilant and aware of who is caring for their children. It is also a reminder to young persons to speak up if they have been a victim of sexual assault, as there is support and resources available to help them.
The Toronto Police Service is committed to investigating all reports of sexual assault and ensuring that perpetrators are held accountable for their actions. Anyone with information is urged to contact the Child and Youth Advocacy Centre at 416-808-2922 or Crime Stoppers anonymously at 416-222-TIPS (8477).
