A Toronto man is facing nearly a dozen more charges after Toronto police identified another underage victim he allegedly sexually assaulted in 2024.

Police said Kaden Charles-Robinson began chatting with the victim in April 2024 on Instagram and during their conversation, he allegedly convinced her to send sexual videos to him.

He also sent sexual videos of himself to the victim, police allege.

They later met at a park near Evans and Kipling avenues, where police said the victim was sexually assaulted.

Police said Charles-Robinson then allegedly put a firearm to the victim’s stomach as he tried to put her in his car.

The victim was able to escape, police said.

In a news release on Tuesday, police announced that Charles-Robinson was arrested on Sept. 1 and charged with 11 offences, including sexual assault, accessing child sexual abuse and exploitation material, forcible confinement, sexual interference with a person under 16 years of age, and three counts of telecommunication with a person under or believed to be under 16 years for special criminal offences.

Charles-Robinson was initially arrested and charged in June after he allegedly lured an underage victim through Snapchat and sexually assaulted her when they met.

There may be more victims, police said, adding that the suspect’s Snapchat username was k_charles55 while his Instagram handle was k_charles789.
