TORONTO – Police in Toronto say a former York University football coach is facing eight additional charges in an ongoing child-luring investigation.

Daniel Younis, 24, was first arrested in February and charged with luring a child, and attempting to make child pornography.

Police allege Younis engaged a 16-year-old boy through cellphone and Internet chats between December 2012 and February 2013, and say the boy sent images of himself to the accused.

On Monday, Younis was charged with three counts of luring a child, two counts of attempting to make child pornography, and three counts of sexual exploitation.

Police say the new charges relate to three boys between 16 and 17 who were allegedly contacted through cellphone and Internet chats.

Police allege two of the three boys were sexually assaulted on the York University campus, and that the accused met the third boy at a football game in Texas.
