Toronto police say a publication ban forbids them from releasing the identity of a suspect in the Boxing Day abduction and sexual assault of a four-year-old girl.

Police were planning to release more information today but a scheduled news conference has been cancelled.

Police say they sought legal advice and they cannot release the accused's name or photo because of the ban.

The charges against the suspect also have not been released.

The child was visiting from Connecticut when she was taken, and was later found wandering outdoors by family members.
