Police say job offers lured sex assault victims: Brampton man charged

A Brampton man faces sex charges following incidents in Milton and Halton Hills.

According to Halton Regional Police, a man allegedly posted “help wanted” ads on Kijiji seeking entry-level data entry positions. Investigators believe female victims who were new to Canada were specifically targeted.

“After arranging interviews, the victims were picked up…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,” said police.

One incident occurred in Milton and the other in Halton Hills between March and December of 2025.

Through investigation, officers were able to make an arrest. On Jan. 26, Tejinder Dhaliwal, 47, of Brampton, was arrested and charged with sexual assault and obtaining sexual services for consideration.

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

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