Toronto police say they are seeking to speak to victims regarding multiple sexual assault investigations in the city.
Police said the first incident occurred late on Oct. 1, until the early morning of Oct. 2, when officers responded to reports of a sexual assault at a hotel in the Front and York Streets area.
Police said a man reportedly sexually assaulted several people. No charges were filed in connection with that incident, as officers are still seeking to speak with the victims.

The second incident occurred at 10:20 a.m. on Oct. 12, when officers were called to the Toronto Island ferry terminal.
Police allege that a man was standing at the terminal entrance when a stranger on a bicycle approached him. Then the stranger allegedly sexually assaulted the man.
Prasanna Mondal, a twenty-four-year-old Toronto resident, was arrested in connection with that incident.
Police said he appeared in court on October 13 after being charged with sexual assault and was released.
The next day, police were called to a nursery on Algonquin Island, which is part of the Toronto Islands, at 3:46 p.m. for a suspicious incident.
Police allege that a man sexually assaulted “several children” outside the nursery when the children were released.
Mondal was arrested again and charged with sexual interference.
He appeared in court on Friday.
“We believe, based on the calls we responded to and the witness accounts of what happened, that there are other victims and we would like to speak with them,” Const. David Hopkinson told Global News.
Police said the defendant advertises services on Canadiannanny.ca.
Anyone with information about the incidents should contact investigators at 416-808-5200 or Crime Stoppers anonymously at 416-222-8477.
