The investigation began in 2016, OPS and CBSA said in a joint release. The man fled Canada in 2017 when he learned of the investigation.
“When he returned to Canada to seek medical attention in 2023, he was met and arrested by the CBSA and returned to Ottawa to face criminal proceedings,” the release said. In the release, police said he pleaded guilty in Ottawa on Oct. 15 to three counts of sexual assault, and one count each of sexual interference involving a minor, making a false statement for a passport, and misrepresentation under the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act and under the Citizenship Act.
