Sexual assault after online job advertisements: Indian-origin man arrested, charged in Canada, released on bail next day

47-year-old Tejinder Dhaliwal was arrested and charged with sexual assault in Brampton after investigations into two incidents where victims were contacted through online job postings and then sexually assaulted led the cops to Dhaliwal. Halton Police released a photo of the man as they believe there may be additional victims. But Dhaliwal was released on bail on January 27, a day after he was arrested. The investigators believe that the online job advertisements were posted to exploit females seeking employment. Two such incidents were reported to the Halton Police — one in March 2025 and the second one in December 2025. In both incidents, Dhaliwal posted ‘help wanted’ advertisements on Kijiji, a Canadian marketplace, for beginner-level data entry positions. The target was female victims new to Canada, investigators believe. “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,” the police release said. One incident occurred in Milton and the other in Halton Hills.Dhaliwal has been charged with sexual assault and obtaining sexual services for consideration.
