A sexual assault suspect has been apprehended by Toronto police after two separate incidents on York’s Keele campus.
On Sept. 15, a 23-year-old female York student reported she was in the University's Scott Library in the evening when a man followed her into a secluded aisle of books and sexually assaulted her. The victim reported the matter to York Security Services and police.
On Sept. 18, University security officers were again called to the library by an anonymous caller reporting she had just been sexually assaulted. This caller left the library before being interviewed by police. Security located a suspect and police were called. After an investigation the man was charged in connection to the assault on Sept. 15. The incident on Sept. 18 is still under investigation.
Aaron Zukewich, a 21-year-old student of the University, has been charged with one count of sexual assault. He is being held for a bail hearing at Old City Hall Court.
