Durham police yesterday reported that a male is facing charges following a sexual assault investigation involving two children in Pickering and Toronto.
In July, investigators with the Special Victims Unit began an investigation into a male after it was reported that the suspect sexually assaulted two female children.
The suspect, who is known to both victims’ families, attended their respective residences and inappropriately touched the victims, police said.
Through an extensive investigation, it was determined that the suspect had sexually assaulted the victims on numerous occasions between November 2025 and July 2026.
In August, the suspect was located in Ajax and taken into custody without incident.
The accused provides art lessons from a residence in Pickering, and police have concerns there may be further victims.
The male, aged 63 from Pickering, was charged and held for a bail hearing. Name, photo and further details are available at www.drps.ca.
Anyone with information about these incidents is asked to contact D/Cst. Gomez of the Special Victims Unit at 1-888-579-1520 ext. 5391.
