A Toronto man is facing charges after investigators linked him to two alleged sexual assaults in the same Rexdale neighbourhood.<\/p>\n

The Toronto Police Service (TPS) says officers first responded to a sexual assault call on Aug. 19 in the area of Albion Road and Silverstone Drive.<\/p>\n

According to investigators, a woman was walking in the neighbourhood at approximately 9 p.m. when a suspect allegedly emerged from a nearby townhouse complex and sexually assaulted her before fleeing back into the complex.<\/p>\n

Police allege a similar incident occurred just weeks later in the same area.<\/p>\n

On Sept. 9, officers responded to another report of a sexual assault involving a female victim who was walking in the neighbourhood at around the same time of day. Investigators allege the victim saw the same suspect exit a townhouse complex before he followed and sexually assaulted her, then fled into a nearby residential complex.<\/p>\n

Following an investigation, police arrested Adnan Koya, 39, of Toronto. Koya has been charged with two counts of sexual assault. He is scheduled to appear in court on Oct. 20.<\/p>\n

Investigators say they believe there may be more victims and have released a description of the accused in an effort to identify anyone else who may have had contact with him.<\/p>\n

Police describe Koya as standing between 5-foot-8 and 5-foot-10, with a medium build, brown eyes, a bald head and a stubble beard. Investigators say he was wearing a blue jacket with the hood up and black track pants during the alleged incidents. Police also noted he has a distinctive shuffling walk.<\/p>\n

Anyone with information is asked to contact Toronto police at 416-808-2300.<\/p>\n
