A 36-year-old Toronto man is facing more than 90 charges in connection with a child luring investigation and police say they fear there may be more victims.
Officers executed a search warrant in the area of Wynford Drive and Don Valley Parkway on March 10 and arrested Ramanan Pathmanathan. At the time, he was charged with 25 offences.
Investigators allege Pathmanathan used “several online profiles to lure children into sending him sexually exploitative photos and videos.”
On Sept. 14, after further investigation, police charged him with 68 more offences including, 18 counts of luring a child, nine counts of invitation to sexual touching and 10 counts of making child pornography.
Police said the suspect may have used the following identities online and may not have used his real photo. They also said there may be more victims.
