A man is wanted in the alleged sexual assault of a 15-year-old male teenager in a Vaughan park last month.

York Regional Police said the teen was walking in Agostino Park, in the Rutherford Road and Confederation Parkway area, around 9:30 p.m. on September 22.

It’s alleged the young man was approached by the suspect, who engaged him in conversation. The male suspect told the victim he had been in Canada for a month and spoke Russian and Georgian.

Police said the suspect then touched the 15-year-old in what was described as a sexual manner.

As the victim started to leave, police said the teen noticed the suspect follow him briefly but quickly lost sight of him and contacted the authorities.

The suspect is described as a white male, between 30 and 40 years old, standing approximately six-foot-one to six-foot-two with a slim to medium build.

He has blue eyes, a large nose, black and grey hair with a side parting and was last seen wearing a blue hooded sweatshirt, slim black sweatpants and running shoes.
