A priest at an east-end church is facing a charge of sexual assault, Toronto police say.

Police said a woman was sexually assaulted by a man at All Saints Romanian Orthodox Church on Danforth Road, near Birchmount Road, on Sept. 3.

A couple entered the church and interrupted the assault, police said in a news release Friday.

A suspect was arrested Wednesday.

Police said Ioan Pop, 54, of Toronto is charged with one count of sexual assault.

He is scheduled to appear in court Oct. 15.

Police believe there may be more victims, and they are asking anyone with information to call investigators at 416-808-4100 or Crime Stoppers anonymously at 416-222-TIPS (8477)
