Three counts of sexual interference for allegedly sexually touching three minors under age 16 on a single day in September 2024, in Vaughan, Ont."
"One additional count each of possessing and accessing child sexual abuse material "in the form of images and videos" sometime between 2009 and 2017. One count of mischief, dated sometime between June 2022 and July 2023, in which Poon is alleged to have "willfully interfere[d]" with a female person's use of her "underwear and bathing suit.""
"Detectives also appear to have identified at least 13 new potential victims in the amended charge sheet, where they are listed by initials. Previously, almost all of the charges against Poon listed "an unknown person" or "a person" as the alleged victims."
