WARRANT ISSUED FOR VAUGHAN MAN CHARGED WITH LURING A CHILD

Posted on Thursday August 08, 2024

Investigators with the York Regional Police #4 District Criminal Investigations Bureau have issued an arrest warrant for a 20-year-old Vaughan man wanted for failing to comply with his release order.

In June 2024, Shubham SAHOTA was charged with several sexual offences including Sexual Interference, Luring a Child, Invitation to Sexual Touching and Arrangement – Sexual Offence against a Child and Making Sexually Explicit Material Available to a Child.

He was released on conditions that required him to reside with a surety in Vaughan. On July 28, 2024, investigators became aware that SAHOTA had not been seen since July 20 and they have not been able to locate him. They are concerned he may re-offend.

Anyone who sees SAHOTA, or knows of his whereabouts, are urged to call police immediately.

In April 2024, a 12-year-old victim began communicating with a 20-year-old man through social media. The suspect posed as a 16-year-old, sent sexually explicit photos to the victim and arranged a meeting for the purpose of committing a sexual act.

On May 7, 2024, the suspect sent a rideshare to pick up the victim and bring them to his house, where they engaged in a sexual act.

Wanted:

Shubham SAHOTA, 20, of the City of Vaughan
