Toronto Police are looking a male suspect after a 9-year-old boy was sexually assaulted in the Thorncliffe Public Library on Oct. 9.

Police allege that the man was asking for help when he approached the boy. As he helped the man, he was sexually assaulted.

The man left the area after another adult tried to stop him.

The man is described as white, about five-foot-eight, and in his late 40s to early 50s, with a medium build and short light-coloured hair. He was wearing a brown leather jacket, glasses and dark pants.

Anyone with information is asked to call police at 416-808-5300 or Crime Stoppers anonymously at 416-222-8477.
