International student accused of violent sexual assaults in Brampton and Vaughan
Once, police said, he “pressured” a female employee to drink a boozy beverage, causing her to pass out, then allegedly sexually assaulted her and recorded the incident.
Police believe there may be additional victims and urge anyone with information to come forward.
According to the Los Angeles Daily News, Hajhosseini has pleaded not guilty to the charges. His attorney denied the allegations and said his client passed a polygraph test.
“Dr. Hajhosseini will try his case in court, not in the media. In the courtroom, cases are decided based on evidence, not innuendo,” attorney Caleb Mason said.
“In fact, there is substantial evidence proving that these allegations are false and that evidence will be presented in court. Additionally, Dr. Hajhosseini voluntarily took a polygraph exam, which he passed. Dr. Hajhosseini looks forward to complete vindication in court.”
