A 28‑year‑old Nigerian resident of Toronto, Adebayo Maoli, was arrested by the Toronto Police Service on charges of sexual assault and indecent acts after allegedly exposing himself to three victims on TTC trains in September and October.

A 28‑year‑old Nigerian man living in Toronto has been taken into custody by the [Toronto Police Service](https://www.torontopolice.on.ca) on accusations of exposing himself to three separate victims on the city’s subway system.

According to police, the suspect, identified as Adebayo Maoli, faces one count of sexual assault and two counts of indecent act. The first alleged episode took place on 1 September at around 3 p.m. on a southbound train of the [Toronto Transit Commission (TTC)](https://www.ttc.ca) at King Station, where he is said to have exposed himself to two passengers before departing after the alarm was triggered.

A second alleged incident occurred on 3 October at roughly 12:10 a.m. after the accused followed a commuter who had exited a train at College Station. Both individuals are reported to have boarded an escalator, where the suspect again exposed himself to the victim.

“The victim verbally confronted the accused, who fled the area,” police said in a news release.

Maoli was subsequently arrested and charged, with a bail hearing scheduled for 9 October. Authorities indicated that additional victims may exist and urged anyone with information to contact the Toronto Police Service or Crime Stoppers anonymously.

The investigation remains active, and the allegations have yet to be examined in court.
