In the underbelly of Toronto’s streets, one man has cemented his place in the city’s dark folklore. Samuel Opoku, the 30-year-old homeless individual infamous as the “Pee Pee Poo Poo Man,” now finds himself back in custody facing serious new allegations that have shocked residents and reignited memories of his bizarre past crimes.

On May 12, Toronto Police arrested Opoku and charged him with two counts of sexual assault and one count of indecent exposure. The incidents allegedly occurred over a single weekend in May. On May 9 near Dundas Street East and De Grassi Street, a woman walking with friends was reportedly approached and grabbed by the forearm as the suspect made unwanted sexual advances. The following day, on May 10 near Dundas West and Bloor West, another woman was allegedly followed into an office building and assaulted from behind. Neither victim knew the suspect, and no physical injuries were reported. Police describe the events as disturbing and are urging anyone with additional information to come forward.

This latest arrest marks a grim evolution from Opoku’s notorious 2019 crime spree. Then just 23, he allegedly carried out multiple attacks across university campuses and public spaces, approaching unsuspecting victims — including students, a mother and child — with buckets of liquefied feces and urine before dousing them without warning. The vile incidents, captured on security cameras and widely shared online, earned him the unforgettable nickname that has since become internet legend. He faced multiple charges of assault with a weapon and mischief but ultimately received a suspended sentence, probation, and orders for medical help rather than significant jail time. Reports indicate he later breached probation on more than one occasion.

Opoku’s story refused to fade into obscurity. In 2024, independent filmmakers released a satirical mockumentary titled The Pee Pee Poo Poo Man, which premiered at venues like the TIFF Lightbox and turned his chaotic saga into absurdist cinema. The film blended dark comedy with social commentary on urban alienation, mental health struggles, and the bizarre undercurrents of city life, further immortalizing the figure in pop culture.

Now, seven years later, the man once defined by his repulsive public antics stands accused of far more intimate and predatory behavior. His repeated brushes with the law raise difficult questions about Toronto’s handling of chronic homelessness, untreated mental illness, and repeat offenders who cycle through the justice system without long-term intervention. While some view him as a product of systemic failures — lack of stable housing, inadequate mental health support, and overburdened courts — others see a dangerous individual whose actions continue to terrorize vulnerable citizens.

Opoku remains in custody awaiting his next court appearance. Toronto Police continue to investigate and appeal for witnesses. As the city grapples with public safety concerns, this case serves as a stark reminder that yesterday’s viral oddity can become today’s serious threat. The “Pee Pee Poo Poo Man” may have traded buckets for bolder transgressions, but his presence continues to unsettle a city still searching for answers.
