Brampton Man Charged Following Sexual Assault Investigation Involving Online Job Advertisements

The Halton Regional Police Service (HRPS) has arrested and charged a Brampton man following a Sexual Assault investigation involving online job advertisements that investigators allege were used to exploit females seeking employment.

The charges stem from two separate investigations, with offences that occurred in March and December of 2025.

In both incidents, the accused posted “help wanted” advertisements on Kijiji for entry-level data entry positions. Investigators believe the accused specifically targeted female victims who were new to Canada.

After arranging interviews, the victims were picked up by the accused and driven to isolated industrial parking lots. In one occurrence, a victim was sexually assaulted. In a separate incident, a victim was offered employment opportunities that required a sexual relationship with the accused.

One incident occurred in Milton and the other in Halton Hills.

Through investigation, officers identified the accused. On January 26, 2026, Tejinder Dhaliwal (47) of Brampton was located and arrested by HRPS officers in Brampton.

Dhaliwal has been charged with the following offences:

• Sexual Assault
• Obtaining Sexual Services for Consideration

He was held for a bail hearing on January 27, 2026 and subsequently released on the same date.

Investigators believe there may be additional victims and are urging anyone who may have information, or who believes they were victimized by Dhaliwal, to contact the HRPS Child Abuse and Sexual Assault Unit at 905-825-4777 ext. 8970.

Tips can also be submitted anonymously to Crime Stoppers. “See something? Hear something? Know something?” Contact Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 (TIPS) or submit a tip online at www.haltoncrimestoppers.ca.

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

There is no statute of limitations for reporting sexual assault. Regardless of how much time has passed, victims can report incidents to police for investigation.
