Toronto police have laid more charges against a Toronto Catholic District School Board teacher who was arrested earlier this fall on child porn and luring charges.
Gerard McGilly, 46, was originally arrested in October and charged with luring a child under 18, sexual exploitation, making sexually explicit material available to a person under 18, making child pornography, possessing child pornography, and accessing child pornography.
McGilly was out on bail when he was arrested again on Nov. 30 after two people came forward with allegations that were “sexual in nature,” Det. Paul Krawczyk of the Sex Crimes and Child Exploitation Unit told a news conference Monday.
Police are alleging that McGilly used social media platforms to “inappropriately communicate with a girl,” including sending her pornographic images under the username of “thepirateubuddha,” between September 2015 and June 2017.
They also allege McGilly had inappropriate sexual contact with the girl and, in May 2017, used social media to inappropriately communicate with another girl.
Krawczyk said investigators have received phone calls from more people who identified themselves as victims, but weren’t ready to come forward.
“We will support you regardless of whether you choose to give a statement or not,” Krawczyk said. “We are here when you are ready.” (more...)
