The accused, identified by police as 27-year-old Gregory Binns, of Toronto, has been charged with sexual assault, assault by choking, and forcible confinement. “Police have concerns there may be additional victims and are encouraging anyone who may have had contact with Binns or who has any information relevant to this investigation to come forward and contact investigators,” the news release, issued by police on Friday, read.
