Toronto police have arrested a 48-year-old man they say extorted at least two other men using the online dating website Ashley Madison.

Police allege the man used the Toronto-based site, which advertises itself to people looking to cheat on their spouses, to extort men who had arranged to meet women they had befriended online.

In both cases, police allege the man told his victims the user they were talking to was an underage girl associated with organized crime.

In a Monday news release, police said they believe there may be other victims.

The first incident began in February, after a 58-year-old man befriended a user named “Svenita.” After providing Svenita with “intimate personal information” the two arranged a March meeting at which police allege the man was approached by another man who said Svenita was underage and had ties to organized crime. Police allege he then threatened to expose the first man if he didn’t pay up.

The second incident began in November, when a 64-year-old man befriended a user named “SarahMickeyMay.” As in the first case, police said the pair arranged a meeting at which another man appeared and similarly threatened to exposure.

In an emailed statement to the Star, Paul Keable, a spokesperson for Ashley Madison’s parent company, Ruby Life, said the incidents are “clearly contravention of the terms and conditions of our service.”

“We continue to encourage our members to report any instances of misconduct to our customer support team. In the event that we receive such a report, we will take appropriate measures, which may include removing the profile or banning the user,” Keable said.

In 2015, the website experienced a massive data breach that saw the personal information of 32 million clients released.

Michael Malentin, 48, has been arrested and charged with two counts of extortion and two counts of wearing a disguise with intent.

He appeared in court on Friday.
