    What a disgusting puke. Lets send him up the river for a few years to think about his actions. Oh yeah, how about we DON'T let him out on bail to assault more women and girls?

    Incredible act of disgust!! I hope this man has a sister, mother or better yet a daughter...imagine you disgusting piece of ____ , that someone just like you did this to one or all of your female family members.

    These kids were under the age of 16 and you tormented them. Please get some medical attention as this proves that there is 1 or more underlying issue with your well being and mental health.

    Call CAMH, they can help you. Get this pig off the streets and ban him for life from using Public Transit. Thank you to the Police in charge of catching and arresting this pervert. Job well done.

      @elisabeth You ignorant individual You are clearly uneducated... Mental health is a serious issue, yet you continue to address him as being a pig and a disgusting piece of _____. This is why mental health continues to be left in the dark because people like you refer to someone who suffers from it as a pig. Also, do you know anything about this mans life? I can guarantee you don't. He disgusts you?? You disgust me..
