A man posing as a police officer met a woman online and gained her trust before sexually assaulting her, Durham Regional Police allege.
Police said in a news release Tuesday that officers became involved in a sex assault investigation on March 28.
A suspect met a woman online, identified himself as a police officer and gained her trust, police said.
The suspect went to the victim’s home where he allegedly assaulted and sexually assaulted her.
Police said the investigation determined that the man was not in fact a police officer and investigators are now looking to speak to any other potential victims, individuals with information that could lead to identify other victims, or those who have been contacted by the accused.
Toronto resident Ahmed Moustafa, 36, has been charged with assault, sexual assault, and two counts of impersonating a police officer.
