Adding to their terror, they have struggled with the building’s management to alert all residents at 35 Balmuto St.

The last incident was Sept. 26 when a 19-year-old university student living with her mother was horrified to find her picture moved into her bathroom where a man apparently masturbated while they were out for dinner.

“This is just frightening,” says her mother, S.F., who like the other women doesn’t want to be identified. “We feel like someone is watching us all the time.”

Toronto Police directed the property manager of the swank 48-storey building to alert residents by e-mail. However, that message didn’t reference the predatory sexual nature directly, calling it merely a “disturbing event.” Police have since twice requested more specific information be issued in a second more specific e-mail. But that has not happened, say the women residents.
