Durham Regional Police said the special victims unit concluded an investigation late last month after receiving a report that a man had allegedly sexually assaulted and exploited a 16-year-old girl in 2021.

They said the victim was employed by the man between July and October of that year.

“Police have concerns there are other victims and are requesting anyone with information to come forward,” Sgt. Nicholas Gluckstein said in a news release.

Ahmed Ashraf has since been charged with three counts each of sexual assault and sexual exploitation and was released on an undertaking.

Anyone with information about this or similar incidents is asked to contact the special victims unit at 1-888-579-1520, Ext. 5311. Anonymous tips can also be sent to Durham Regional Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 or durhamregionalcrimestoppers.ca.
