Disturbing details from Toronto Police about man charged with sexual assault and incest

A disturbing report from Toronto Police.  And I'm surprised at the amount of detail they're releasing.




From the Toronto Police Service, via an email alert from 33 Division:

An 18-year-old man has been charged in a Sexual Assault investigation.

It is alleged that:

  • between June 1 and July 1, 2008, the accused used his spiritual position within his faith community to gain the trust of two women, aged 41 and 18, and a 15-year-old boy,
  • the victims believed that there were dire consequences to their non-compliance of the accused's demands,
  • the victims complied out of fear.


Nyron Gill, 18, of Toronto, is charged with:

  1. two counts of Sexual Assault,
  2. Incest,
  3. Invitation to Sexual Touching.

He appeared in court at 1000 Finch Avenue West, on Wednesday, July 9, 2008.

Investigators believe there may be other victims.

Anyone with information is asked to contact police at 416-808-3305, Crime Stoppers anonymously at 416-222-TIPS (8477), or online at www.222tips.com.

To give his name and age is what surprised me, given that he's been charged with incest and that one of the victims is only 15 years old (it isn't clear that this young man is an incest victim).  For people who know Gill, even in passing, this might be enough to identify the victims, and usually the police avoid giving out identifying information like this.

Maybe it's the possibility of other victims that is the overriding concern.

It's also a tricky issue, because "Nyron Gill" is also the name of a part-time music producer and student who is also 18 and also from Toronto:

I'm Tha C.O of Blackout Mob Street Unit Souljhaz Entertainment produced for more then a dozen groups, looking for some serious groups to have a better understanding of this music field.

Not sure what all that meant.  Maybe the police figured the name was unique enough not to be shared with anyone else, and certainly not with someone of the same age and from the same city.
