Const. Mike Gatto said it’s very early in the investigation and it’s not known if there are any other victims.
“It’s always a possibility, but we hope that isn’t a fact,” he said. “For now, we are dealing with this one incident.”
Suarez has also held several camps, workshops, and cartooning parties throughout the Guelph and Wellington County area, according to his website.
