A 50-year-old Ajax man who police allege would claim to be a foster dad more than two decades ago has been charged with sexual assault.
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.
Officers said the suspect befriended the victim and allegedly sexually assaulted him on several occasions.
Investigators said the suspect claimed to be a foster dad for homeless teenage boys, but did not have affiliation to any foster parent services.
