he dupes women and gains enough trust to isolate them in a vehicle and then commits a sexual assault
Investigators believe that more women may have had similar contact with the accused and are asking that they contact police. Anyone with information should call the Sex Crimes Unit at 416-808-7474, or Crime Stoppers at 416-222-TIPS (8477) or online at www.222tips.com.
