After being found guilty of sexual harassment, Jagjit Singh, a 51-year-old Indian man, will be deported from Canada. Between September 8 and September 11, Singh, who had entered the country on a temporary visa in July to visit his newborn granddaughter, made violent attempts to interact with adolescent girls and snap pictures in the smoking section of a Sarnia high school.
The man kept on taking pictures despite the girls’ repeated objections. He pushed himself between the two girls and motioned for another picture. According to the Toronto Sun, a Canadian newspaper, he wrapped his hand around the girl’s body after another picture was taken. The girl was unhappy with the gesture and pulled him away.
Singh was charged with sexual assault and interference after being taken into custody on September 16. After a few days, he was granted bail. But that same day, a fresh complaint was filed against him, leading to his re-arrest. Despite being granted bail once more, he was forced to remain in detention for an additional night since he could not speak English and there was no interpreter on hand. In a Sarnia courtroom,
Singh ultimately entered a plea of guilty to the lesser included crime of criminal harassment but not guilty to sexual interference. After after, Justice Krista Lynn Leszczynski gave her ruling, declaring that Singh’s actions in the smoking area would not be accepted.
In addition to this, she further noted that Singh has no business on the school property. Singh is scheduled to return on December 30. But according to the Toronto Sun, he may have previously thought of fleeing the nation because of legal issues. Additionally, he is prohibited from returning to the nation.
