The members of the Durham Regional Police Service (DRPS) Special Victims Unit have arrested and charged a male in connection with a sexual assault investigation involving a youth employee at a commercial swimming facility in Ajax.
They report that the investigation began after allegations were made that a 20-year-old male supervisor at Aqua-Tots in Ajax engaged in inappropriate sexual conduct involving a 15-year-old female employee under his supervision. It is alleged that the accused used his position of authority to initiate sexual contact with the victim and confined her within a workplace bathroom during the incident.
A 20-year-old male from Oshawa, was arrested on November 9, and charged but has since been released on an Undertaking, they state.
Investigators are concerned there may be additional victims and a photo of the accused is being released. Anyone with information, or who may be a victim is asked to contact the Durham Regional Police Service Special Victims Unit at 1-888-579-1520 ext. 5323.
