Editor’s note: Toronto Police received rare judicial authority to release photos of the teenage suspect. The authorization to use these photos expired on Monday, Oct. 10.
Toronto police continue to search for a young suspect wanted in a series of sexual assaults.
The young teen, described as being about five-foot-five with a thin to medium build and short brown or light blonde hair, is said to be responsible for six reported sexual assaults this summer on the Gatineau Hydro Corridor trail near Birchmount Road and the East Don River trail near Wynford Drive.
The boy approached victims from behind on a bicycle and sexually assaulted them.
The suspect has been seen riding a dark mountain bike and carrying a distinctive brown camouflage-like design backpack.
Police have increased patrols in the area along the trails.
Investigators obtained judicial authorization to re-release images and a composite sketch of the suspect until October 10 or until the boy has been apprehended.
Anyone with information is asked to contact police.
