Toronto police say they have arrested a 79-year-old man in connection with a series of sexual assaults that occurred over the past few months in Etobicoke.
In several reports of incidents beginning in October, the suspect would approach the victim and request they use a translator application to speak with him.
As the suspect stood close to the victim, he would extend his hand for a handshake then pull the victim in closer and sexually assault them, officers said.
