A man from Toronto is facing multiple charges for allegedly drugging and sexually assaulting numerous victims at his home more than two years ago.
Police said the first incident occurred on Tuesday, June 21, 2022.
It’s alleged the victim attended the home of the accused in the St. Clair Avenue West and Dufferin Street area, where they were drugged with what investigators called a noxious substance. The victim was then sexually assaulted.
Authorities noted that two similar and separate incidents involving the accused happened on Tuesday, June 28, 2022, and Thursday, July 21, 2022, at his home, where he drugged and sexually assaulted the victims.
On Monday, Jan. 1, 2024, police identified the accused as 26-year-old Jackson Ferreira of Toronto. Search warrants were executed, and on Tuesday, Nov. 5, 2024, he was arrested and charged with three counts of sexual assault.
Ferreira was slated to appear in court on Wednesday. Investigators believe there may be additional victims and have released a photo of the accused.
