Good grief! Link from 2011 same bookstore guy, W Shorten ..

http://www.torontosun.com/2011/06/30/child-molester-moves-to-whitby

"Shorten, 44, was convicted of 12 sex offences involving five- to 14-year-olds in public areas in Toronto from 1998 to 2007, said the statement issued Thursday.

It said he did not know any of the victims at the time of the assaults.

But court records obtained by The Toronto Sun show the convicted pervert’s favourite haunts were libraries and bookstores located near subway stations. Inside the book sites, he waited for children who were alone, then exposed himself and invited mostly young girls to touch him sexually.

Prior to 2008, when Shorten was accused of sexually assaulting a 16- and a 10-year-old girl minutes apart at a bookstore and library in the Bayview and Sheppard Aves. area, court records show he had spent just two years in jail for previous attacks on kids.

The then unmarried North York graphic designer was arrested three years ago after investigators matched a DNA sample at a bookstore with one kept on his police files.

Given a 12-month sentence after being convicted of an indecent act in 1999, he was arrested two years later after a string of attacks on children in Toronto bookstores".

This is the most confusing thread I have read at WS. It started out with someone wanting to sleuth the disappearances of several teenaged females from Toronto/GTA. That person hasn't posted in here in about 2 years.

I have seen everything in here from 12 year old boys to 67 year old men and everything in between. I don't mean to sound harsh, but all the people listed in this thread that are being "grouped" together for some reason, need their own threads.

Welcome new member!
I am totally at fault for that, please feel free to start individual threads for all these GTA cases if you like.
