Toronto police have charged the manager of a popular downtown eatery with sexual assault.

The alleged incident happened in October 2014 but police announced the charges Wednesday, the same day the suspect was expected in court.

Police began their investigation after a 19-year-old woman reported being sexually assaulted while at a party at the Elephant and Castle on Yonge Street on Oct. 8, 2014.

She told police she pushed the man away and went to the washroom but she accused the suspect of following her in and assaulting her one more time.

Police have charged a 34-year-old suspect in connection with the case.

Ernesto Abrahan Llontop Diez faces one charge of sexual assault.

Police say there could be more victims who have yet to come forward and are asking anyone with information to call detectives at 52 Division, 416-808-5200.
