Alleged Toronto feces thrower with movie about him arrested twice in 24-hour span

Samuel Opoku, indelibly etched into Toronto internet folklore as the notorious "Peepeepoopoo Man," was arrested twice in a 24-hour span this week on two separate sexual assault charges, adding yet another dark chapter to an already bewildering public saga.

According to Toronto Police, the assaults took place over a 24-hour period between May 9 and 10. 

Police allege that a group of women were walking along a sidewalk near Dundas St. E. and De Grassi St. at around 8:10 p.m. on May 9 when the suspect approached the group at close proximity.

The second alleged sexual assault occurred the following day at 5:30 p.m. near Dundas St. W. and Bloor St. W., where police say the suspect followed a woman into an office space and sexually assaulted her.

In both incidents, the suspect allegedly fled the scene before officers arrived. Police say none of the victims knew the suspect.

On Tuesday, May 12, 30-year-old Opoku was arrested and charged with two counts of sexual assault and one count of indecent exposure.

Over the past seven years, Opoku has been the subject of much media attention in connection with a string of grotesque criminal activities in Toronto.

In 2019, he was arrested after allegedly ambushing University of Toronto students and pouring buckets of liquefied feces on them. He was subsequently charged with five counts of assault with a weapon and five counts of mischief interfering with property. 

At the time, Opoku's lawyer said his client was experiencing mental health challenges but declined to elaborate. He was later released after three weeks in custody.

Opoku drew considerable public attention for his bizarre antics, with more than 100 spectators reportedly attending his bail hearing. Years later, in 2024, indie filmmakers spoofed the alleged offender's poop-throwing spree across the city in a feature film, The Pee Pee Poo Poo Man, which premiered at the TIFF Lightbox. 

As for the 2026 charges, Opoku was scheduled to appear in court at the Toronto Regional Bail Centre on Tuesday morning. The case is working its way through the courts, and no other details have been made public so far.
