A 42-year-old man is facing more charges in an ongoing child sex abuse investigation after another alleged victim came forward.
Najeeb Saad was arrested last month, accused of sexually assaulting a 14-year-old boy and sending him nude photos over social media.
Since that arrest, another boy told police he was also sexually assaulted. He was 17 at the time of the alleged assault.
Police say the teen met the suspect online in November 2015 and was coerced into meeting the man at his home, where they then took part in sexual acts.
The boy travelled with the man shortly after he turned 18 in March of last year. Police say the suspect called him into his hotel room and sexually assaulted him.
Investigators re-arrested Saad on April 12 and charged him with sexual assault, luring a person under 18, and obtaining sexual services. He is scheduled to appear in court on April 25.
Police are concerned there may be other victims.
Police said Saad uses the online profiles of “AJ S,” “AjSaad123,” “asaad942” on Grindr, Snapchat and Kik. He is known to drive a black Range Rover.
Police are asking anyone with information to contact 416-808-8500.
