Toronto police believe there may be more victims after a man was charged for allegedly peeping through a woman’s bedroom window this month.

Officials say the charges stem from two incidents on June 2 and June 7 in the Spadina Avenue and College Street area.

On June 2, police said they received a call for a “prowler” in the area around 12 a.m.

According to officials, a woman was in her bedroom when she noticed the suspect peering in through her window; he quickly ran off and fled after she noticed him, police said in a news release Saturday.
