Ottawa, ON – October 31, 2024
A man has been sentenced to prison for sexual assault and immigration and citizenship fraud following a joint investigation by the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) and the Ottawa Police Service.
The man, who cannot be named due to a publication ban, was arrested in May 2023 after a woman reported being sexually assaulted. The investigation revealed that the man had entered Canada illegally using a false name and had made false statements to obtain Canadian citizenship.

“We will not tolerate those who abuse our immigration laws or prey on vulnerable members of our community,” said CBSA Regional Director General for Ontario, John Howse.
The Ottawa Police Service said that it is committed to protecting the public from sexual violence.
“We will continue to work with our partners to investigate and prosecute those who commit these heinous crimes,” said Ottawa Police Chief Eric Stubbs.
The man’s sentence sends a strong message that sexual assault and immigration fraud will not be tolerated in Canada.
