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.
According to the police, the man had been walking around the water park and groping people. At least twelve people testified that they were groped by him, some of whom were under the age of 16.
The police arrested the man on the spot. 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.
The mother of one of the minor girls who was allegedly groped by the man posted his pictures on a Facebook community, warning other parents about him. The woman claimed that the suspect had been with a group of other Indian men.
