TORONTO, Ont. – Police are asking for the public’s help in identifying the second suspect after a 28 year old woman was sexually assaulted.

Investigators allege two men attacked the woman in an apartment located near Eglinton Ave. E. and Kennedy Rd. in Scarborough at approximately 3 a.m. last Tuesday.

Daniel Leneus, 26, has already been arrested and charged with sexual assault, and made a court appearance earlier this week. However, police have been unable to identify the second suspect.

He is described as black, late 20’s to early 30’s, 5’5” to 5’6”, with long black hair pulled back and a skinny build. He was wearing a black t-shirt with longer grey sleeves underneath and black jeans.

Anyone with information is asked to contact police at 416-808-7474 or Crime Stoppers anonymously at 416-222-TIPS.
