Infamous Toronto man alleged to have thrown feces faces new charges following two sexual assault incidents

Infamously known online as the “ Pee Pee Poo Poo Man ,” Samuel Opoku allegedly terrorized people in Toronto after flinging buckets of liquified poop on five strangers in 2019. Now, the 30-year-old has been arrested on two counts of sexual assault charges for two separate incidents within a day.

Opoku’s alleged 2019 spree saw him released on bail after three weeks in police custody. His lawyer, Jordan Weisz, said that Opoku was dealing with mental health issues. He also said that he thinks Opoku poses no threat to the public .

“This is a one-strike-and-you’re-out case. But I don’t think that’s going to happen. In fact, I wouldn’t have made the submission I made today as counsel if I thought that was going to happen,” Weisz said outside court in 2019 . “We were very, very careful to ensure that the conditions not only provided safety to the community and public, but were also conditions that could be understood.”

The bizarre crime spree was the inspiration behind the move “ The Pee Pee Poo Poo Man with New Toronto Bizarre ” that premiered at TIFF Lightbox in 2024.

The new charges, laid last week , stem from two incidents this month. Police say Opoku approached a group of women walking on the sidewalk in the Dundas Street East and De Grassi Street area on May 9. He is alleged to have made verbal sexual advances as he took hold of one woman’s forearm. Police say he fled the scene after sexually assaulting her.

Great work by @TorontoPolice arresting an individual in the “feces attacks” investigation. He can’t face justice or be given help until apprehended and it seems our police have that in hand. I hope this arrest will help calm concern on campuses and across the city. https://t.co/AJ2kI6Y9Dt

In the second incident, in the Dundas Street West and Bloor Street West area, an adult woman was sexually assaulted in a commercial building on May 10. The suspect, alleged to be Opoku, is said to have approached her from behind and sexually assaulted her. He fled the scene.

In both instances, the suspect and the victims were not known to each other.

He has been charged with two counts of sexual assault and indecent exposure and was scheduled to appear at the Toronto Regional Bail Centre last week.
