Darpan News Desk The Canadian Press, 29 Sep, 2016 01:44 PM

TORONTO — A 32-year-old Toronto lawyer has been charged in connection with four alleged sexual assaults against teenage girls.

Toronto police allege the girls — aged 14, 15 and 16 — were targeted in busy areas in the city and sexually assaulted.

Det. Const. Matthew Pinfold of the sex crimes unit says one of the girls was sexually assaulted twice by the same man.

Pinfold says the incidents occurred in public places such as transit stations and a food court.

He says the public helped identify the man after police released photographs of the suspect.

Francois Lesieur has been charged with four counts of sexual assault and police believe there may be more victims.
