ACAPULCO, Mexico – A Canadian man is behind bars after being accused of sexually abusing minors on a busy street in Acapulco.
Reports say he was arrested on Sunday after a passerby allegedly saw him hugging and touching young girls.
The witness filmed the aftermath of the alleged acts and posted the contents online.
The accused is confronted by the unnamed witness and repeatedly denies molesting the girls as he sits on a bench.
When confronted by the video-taker as to whether his behaviour is normal, the Canadian replied in Spanish that it is.
During the video, he appears to kiss one of the girls, a toddler, on the mouth, with the father nearby, before a police officer stops him.
A release from the attorney general in Guerrero state identifies the man as 68-year-old Walter Zuk and states he is from Quebec.
Global Affairs said the government is aware of a Canadian citizen having been detained in Acapulco.
