Alot Of Unknowns With New Sex Crimes Investigation

Mayor Mel Norton says he wants to do the right thing but the city doesn't know how much that will wind up costing.

An investigation is underway after a new complaint surfaced of sexual assault made against former city police officer Ken Estabrooks who served time in prison before dying in 2005. 

Private investigator Dave Perry says quite often after one person comes forward, others follow after being silent for years and he suspects that will happen here. 

Perry, who is well known for his work investigating sex crimes with the Metro Toronto Police, concedes he doesn't know how long the investigation will last but cautions when you're dealing with sexual assaults, the file is never closed permanently.
