A former teaching assistant in Brampton has been charged in connection with a historic sexual assault case involving a child at a local public school.
Peel police launched an investigation in January after receiving a complaint from a concerned parent. Detectives with the Special Victims Unit allege the accused sexually assaulted a child during the 2017-2018 school year.
While authorities have not disclosed the name of the school, they confirmed that the incident took place at a public school near Main Street and Queen Street in Brampton.
On February 6, police charged 35-year-old Sundeep Vilkhu with sexual assault, sexual interference, and invitation to sexual touching. He has been released under specific conditions and is expected to appear in court at a later date.
According to police, Vilkhu is no longer employed by the school board. Investigators believe there may be additional victims and are urging anyone with relevant information to contact the Special Victims Unit or submit an anonymous tip through Peel Crime Stoppers.
