A man arrested in connection with a string of sexual assaults near York University faces additional charges after a new alleged victim came forward to Toronto police on Wednesday.

The woman told police that around 7:30 p.m. on Dec. 19, she was in the Keele St. and Four Winds Dr. area, close to Finch West subway station, when a man approached her from behind and sexually assaulted her, according to a press release sent Friday.

When the accused, 20-year-old Inzaghi Regis, appeared in court on Friday, he was further charged with forcible confinement and sexual assault with a weapon, Const. Jeniffer Sidhu said.

Sidhu added it was “most likely” that the new alleged victim came forward after hearing media reports about Regis.

Police arrested Regis on Dec. 21, just days after they issued a public safety alert about five sexual assaults that happened over two months near York University’s campus.

In all five instances, the women were able to break free and escape.

Regis now faces four counts of sexual assault with a weapon, two counts of sexual assault, three counts of robbery, two counts of choking, two counts of threatening death, assault causing bodily harm and forcible confinement

He is not a student of York University, Toronto police Const. Allyson Douglas-Cook told the Star on Monday.

Investigators are concerned there may be other victims. Anyone with information is urged to contact the Sex Crimes Unit at 416-808-7474 or call Crime Stoppers anonymously at 416-222-TIPS (8477).
