An Indian national was arrested in Canada’s New Brunswick province after he went on a mass groping spree at a water park in Moncton city.
The man, 25, lives in Halifax, Nova Scotia. In a statement, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police said they responded to a report of sexual interference and sexual assault at a public water park in Moncton on July 7.
“A 25-year-old man originally from India, but residing in Halifax, N.S., has been arrested following sexual assault incidents in Moncton. On July 7, 2024, at approximately 2 p.m., members of the Codiac Regional RCMP responded to a report of sexual interference and sexual assault at a public water park on Mountain Road in Moncton. When police arrived at the scene, they learned that a man had been walking around the premises, and was groping people. There were at least twelve victims, some of whom were under the age of 16.
Police located the individual who was still on the premises, and arrested him without incident. He was later released from custody, and is scheduled to appear in Moncton Provincial Court on October 24
In the meantime, the police are asking people to come forward in case they know anything related to the case.
“We are asking parents to speak to their children if they attended this location on July 7. We also want people to know that a sexual assault complaint can be made at any time. If you are a victim of sexual misconduct, please contact us. You will be listened to, and you will be believed,” reads an official release issued by the police.
While the police did not disclose the identity of the accused, images of him getting arrested at the water park are being circulated on social media platforms.
One mother posted his pictures on a Facebook community, warning other parents about him. She wrote, “People beware the guy we encountered at magic mountain is living in Halifax.. bad enough we had to deal with that in Moncton but to find out he’s close to home .. watch your kids in pools , beaches , public places , bars whatever because he does not give a fuck about anyone seeing him do this shit make his face known.”
