Man arrested in alleged sexual assault of 62-year-old woman in Toronto’s High Park
Written by The Canadian Press on July 3, 2025
Toronto police say they have arrested a suspect in an alleged sexual assault of a 62-year-old woman last month in a west-end park.
Police say the woman was approached from behind while she was walking in High Park around 10:40 p.m. on June 4 and was dragged into a wooded area where she was sexually assaulted.
They say the woman was able to get away from the suspect and had a passerby call police, and the man fled the area soon after.
Police say they arrested a 35-year-old man from Toronto on Wednesday.
Investigators say there may be more victims and are asking anyone who has information to come forward.
Police issued a public safety alert following the assault last month and say they are increasing police presence at the park.
