Toronto police say a man is wanted after a sexual assault was reported in Scarborough.

Police said on June 6 a man and a woman were inside a residence in the Eglinton and Midland avenues area when they began to argue.

The woman tried to leave and the man “refused to let her,” police said.

Investigators allege the man was in possession of a weapon and “he then repeatedly assaulted and sexually assaulted the victim.”

The woman was able to get away while the man was asleep, police said.

A search warrant was issued two days later and police said Jason Devine, 35, of Toronto, is wanted for several charges including assault, sexual assault, forcible confinement, uttering death threats, assault/choking, and other charges.
