Toronto police have arrested a 20-year-old man after five violent sexual assaults over the last two months near York University, most recently twice last Thursday.
Inzaghi Regis was arrested last Friday following a police press conference that included the release of a composite sketch and video.
Scheduled to make his first court appearance on Friday, he faces a number of charges including sexual assault with a weapon, robbery, assault and threatening death.
“I wanted to thank the media for their patience in reporting the story and survivors for their bravery,” said Sex Crimes Inspector Domenic Sinopoli in a statement.
“I also want to thank our officers, including Sex Crimes investigators and 31 Division as well as other supports units, for their tireless work on this investigation.”
In the initial press conference, Sinopoli referred to the attacker as “a predator” whose escalating violent behavior had police concerned. It was believed the attacker first struck on Oct. 24.
Investigators believe there may be other victims and are urging anyone who knows Regis or may have had contact with him to contact the TPS Sex Crimes Unit at 416-808-7474.
