An alleged groping spree at a water park in New Brunswick led to a 25-year-old Indian man’s arrest last weekend.
New Brunswick RCMP officers arrested the man, who they said was “originally from India,” after someone allegedly groped at least 12 people at Magic Mountain SplashZone in Moncton, N.B. on Sunday. Police say some of the alleged victims were under the age of 16.
Police have not released the name of the accused.
In a media release, the RCMP said officers responded to a report of sexual interference and sexual assault at a public water park on Mountain Road in Moncton at around 2 p.m.
“When police arrived at the scene, they learned that a man had been walking around the premises and was groping people,” the release said.
Police told True North in an email that more victims have come forward since the original 12, but police could not provide an exact number as the investigation is still ongoing.
“He is from India; however, he currently resides in Halifax, Nova Scotia,” Sgt. Sylvette Hébert, the officer in charge, told True North.
When asked if the man was a Canadian citizen, she said the police “were not in a position to provide that answer.”
The unnamed man was arrested “without incident” but later released from custody.
