Durham police said the alleged offences reported by the victim, who was a young child at the time, took place at the suspect’s home in Pickering and Ajax from 1993 to 2000.

Investigators said the suspect claimed to be a foster dad for homeless teenage boys, but did not have affiliation to any foster parent services.
