One of the men was identified Saturday evening as 23-year-old Niam Camsell of Toronto.

Camsell has since turned himself in to police and is now facing charges of forcible confinement, sexual assault, gang sexual assault and sexual assault with a weapon.

He is scheduled to appear in court on Tuesday morning.
