🇮🇳 ❌️ 🇨🇦 Indian arrested in Canada for ‘groping spree’ at public water park, victims include minors

🔶️ While 12 victims have been identified, the mother of one said on social media that the number could be higher.

🔶️ This is not the first case of Indian-origin men being accused of sexual assault in the North American country. Canada, to which Indian immigration has tripled in the last decade, has seen multiple instances of complaints of sexual abuse against Indian-origin men.

🔶️ In June this year, a mother from Ontario took to social media to talk about a South Asian man who was “staring at her daughters’ bodies” in their neighbourhood playground.

🔶️ Earlier in May, another Indian-origin man was arrested for sexually assaulting underage girls. He “was known to lurk outside of the local high school and leer at minors prior to his arrest,” according to The Publica, a Canadian online news portal.

🔶️ Two other cases from 2023 also made headlines. A 55-year-old was arrested for sexually assaulting two women during job interviews last September, and a father-son duo was investigated over allegations of sexually assaulting minors on the pretext of providing them vapes, marijuana, cigarettes, and alcohol.

🔶️ In 2022, an Indian-origin police officer from Ottawa had to resign from service after accusations of sexual assault in a 2011 case. He was charged with the offence this June and is scheduled to appear in court on 18 July.
