Police say they responded to a call about a sexual assault last Thursday in the North York area. In a statement, police said a 26-year-old woman travelled to an apartment near Yonge Street and Finch Avenue, where she agreed to purchase a cat from a man who had posted an ad on Kijiji. The man offered the woman some food and drinks, police said. “She started feeling unwell, so she was led to a bedroom where she was brought to lay down. She was sexually assaulted in that bedroom,” Const. David Hopkinson told CTV Toronto.

Ghenadie Carpov, 52, was arrested on Friday and charged with sexual assault and administering a noxious substance. He appeared in court the same day. Kijiji issued a statement in response. “We are saddened to hear about this disturbing case and will fully cooperate with the investigation, as needed. The safety and security of our users is paramount. We are committed to maintaining a safe online community for users,” said Shawn McIntyre, Community Relations and Communications Manager for Kijiji, in a written statement. Police offered advice for anyone purchasing items off Kijiji. They recommend buyers ask to meet in a public space, not go alone, take a photo of the seller and ask to see a seller’s ID. “We want to advise people to be very cautious when they’re going out to purchase things, especially on Kijiji ads,” Hopkinson said. Police are concerned that there may be other victims. Anyone with information is asked to contact police at 416-808-7474 or Crime Stopper anonymously at 416-222-TIPS.

We started at the bottom and we’re at the point where if puppy mills can’t sell in pet stores, they’re going to resort to online sales. So, let’s tackle the online sales. Kijiji should be the example. Canada should be an example. Q: Well, Kijiji has an extensive code of conduct on pet sales, including a long list of tips on how to avoid puppy mills posing as individual families. You don’t think that’s enough?

A: They say they moderate their posts. But they rely on the public to flag the ads before staff review it. It shouldn’t be up to the public.
