Teacher at Mississauga religious school charged in sexual assault investigation

A 32-year-old man is facing multiple charges of sexual assault after alleged incidents last month at a religious school in Mississauga.

Peel Regional Police say a man who was working as an instructor at the school in September is believed to have sexually assaulted two children.

Investigators have not disclosed the name of the school, nor have they released any additional details about the case. It is also unclear if there are other victims.

Ahmed Alhajahmed, 32, of no fixed address, was charged on Thursday with two counts each of sexual assault and sexual interference.

He remains in custody and is scheduled to appear in court in Brampton at a later date.

Investigators with the Peel police Special Victims Unit are asking any additional witnesses to come forward.
