Brampton man charged with sexual assault and luring of 13-year-old child

A 30-year-old man from Brampton is facing 10 charges related to the alleged sexual and luring of a 13-year-old victim.

The York Regional Police say officers began investigating the case in October after learning that a young victim was approached in Brampton’s Chinguacousy Park this past summer.

“Over the course of the summer, the accused had a non-consensual sexual relationship with the victim multiple times, including in his vehicle and in his home,” police said in a statement.

Greg Scarlett, 30, of Brampton was arrested on Monday (Nov. 7) and has been charged with:

• Sexual Assault x4
• Sexual Interference – Person Under 16 x4
• Forcible Confinement
• Luring a Person Under 16

Police say Scarlett is possibly employed in the medical field and may have previously been employed at a school in Peel Region.

Investigators have released a photo of the accused and are urging any additional victims or witnesses to come forward.
