Markham Sports Coach Charged in ‘Numerous’ Sexual Assaults

York Regional Police arrested Garth Morris, a 58-year-old Markham youth basketball coach, on June 5, 2025, for alleged sexual assaults.
The investigation began in May 2025 after a victim reported numerous sexual assaults occurring between 2015 and 2024 starting under age 16.
Morris was formally charged with multiple offenses involving inappropriate sexual conduct with minors, including repeated incidents spanning nearly ten years.
Authorities released Morris's photo hoping additional victims come forward and urged anyone with information to contact Crime Stoppers at 1-866-876-5423, ext. 7071.
The charges and ongoing appeals for witnesses suggest the investigation may expand if more victims report their experiences.
