Durham Regional Police have released a surveillance image of a man who allegedly impersonated a police officer and sexually assaulted a woman in Whitby.
Police say a man went to a sex worker’s motel room on Consumer Drive on Jan. 24 at 12:30 a.m., allegedly claiming to be a client and verbally identifying himself as a police officer.
“The victim asked him to leave several times before he sexually assaulted her,” police said in a press release on Thursday. “The male then left on foot, possibly to a vehicle.”
Police describe the suspect at a six-foot-tall man between the ages of 30 to 35 with shoulder-length dreadlocks.
Police also urged the public to always request a name, badge and identification if someone identifies themselves as an officer.
Anyone with information is asked to contact Det. Const. Baldini at 1-888-579-1520, ext. 5233.
