Arrest Made in Sex Assault Investigation

The Halton Regional Police Service (HRPS) has arrested a New Tecumseth man, and laid multiple charges following an investigation into incidents of sexual assault against a teenaged male.

On March 5, 2026, the HRPS commenced an investigation into incidents of sexual assault involving a male victim, allegedly occurring in Oakville during the month of November 2025.

As a result of the investigation, Darrell Baudoux (65), of New Tecumseth, was arrested and charged with the following:

•          Sexual Assault (3 Counts)
•          Sexual Interference (3 Counts)
•          Fail to Comply with Undertaking

He has been held in custody pending a bail hearing in Milton.

Of note Baudoux was on a prior form of release for similar offences at the time of his arrest.

Baudoux has had previous contact with children as a youth leader and investigators are concerned there may be additional victims. Anyone with information regarding this investigation, or anyone who has been victimized by Baudoux is asked to contact the Child Abuse and Sexual Assault Unit at 905-825-4777 ext. 8970.

Sexual assault is any touching of another person without their consent where the touching is of a sexual nature, or where the sexual integrity of the victim is violated.  A sexual assault can range from unwanted touching to sexual assault involving penetration.

There is no statute of limitation when it comes to reporting a sexual assault.  This means that no matter how long ago the sexual assault happened, you can still report it to police for investigation.

Victims of violence and/or sexual assault can contact the Halton Regional Police Service Victim Services Unit at 905-825-4777 for support.
