Another employee at Toronto’s Hospital for Sick Children is facing serious criminal charges related to child sexual exploitation, less than a month after a physician at the same children’s hospital was arrested on similar allegations.
Antonio Alvin Dela Cruz, 55, worked on SickKids’ housekeeping team. Toronto Police say he faces five charges stemming from an online child-luring investigation, including luring a person under 18 by means of telecommunication, making sexually explicit material available to a person under 18, exposing genitalia to a person under 16, and accessing and possessing child sexual abuse and exploitation material.
According to police, the Internet Child Exploitation Unit began investigating in October 2024. Investigators allege Dela Cruz communicated with a 15-year-old through social media and phone chat applications, made inappropriate comments and sent explicit images.
