Arrest made in three rideshare sexual assaults in Brampton

An arrest has been made in three similar Brampton cases where women were sexually assaulted by a man posing as a rideshare driver.

In each case, the victim was approached by a driver who offered to give them a ride in exchange for a cash deal.

The suspect then drove the women to a remote area where they were sexually assaulted.

Peel Police have released few details about the arrest and have not named the person charged. They say more details are expected in the days to come.

Late last week police released two videos relating details of the case, the second video was in Punjabi. Police say the results of the video assisted in the investigation.

The assaults took place earlier this month and in all three cases, the victims were approached while waiting at a bus stop in the morning.

The first took place on Nov. 8 around 7 a.m. when the victim was picked up near Countryside Road and Bramalea Road. Then, later that same morning at 8 a.m. another victim was approached at Goreridge Crescent and Via Romano.

In both of these incidents, the victims were taken to Clareville Conservation Area on Highway 50 where they were attacked.

The third assault happened on Nov. 16 after the victim accepted a ride from a man at Airport Road and Humberwest Parkway. She was taken to Countryside Drive and Airport Road where she was assaulted.
