Police have arrested a 12-year-old boy suspected in a string of sexual assaults committed on public trails in Toronto dating back to last summer.
A release issued Thursday said the boy was arrested on Sunday and charged with two counts of sexual assault.
The release lists six alleged sexual assaults suspected by police to have been committed by the boy -- of the incidents, five took place when the suspect was 11 years old, police said, and therefore he cannot be criminally charged for them. The next day, a second incident was reported in which the boy allegedly followed a woman riding her bike on the same trail, before asking if he could show her an “11 fingers TikTok trick,” and sexually assaulting her.
