Police west of Toronto say a man from Mississauga, Ont., has been charged with sexually assaulting "multiple" girls under the age of 16.
Peel Regional Police say the 28-year-old suspect is accused of communicating with the victims over social media using the screen name "-PoloPapi-."
They allege he "engaged in sexual relations" with them, with the incidents taking place between last September and this month.
The man is facing two counts each of sexual assault and sexual interference and has also been charged with assault and a breach of probation.
He appeared in court in Brampton, Ont., for a bail hearing.
Police did not immediately respond to questions about the number of victims, but say they believe there may be others.
