The Ottawa Police Service has charged an 81-year-old man in connection with alleged sexual offences that occurred in the 1980s. Zulfikarali Najak faces two counts of sexual assault and was scheduled to appear in court on Wednesday afternoon.
Police released few details in a June 17 statement, but the Sexual Assault and Child Abuse Unit believes there may be additional victims or incidents related to the investigation in the Ottawa area.
Authorities urge anyone with information to contact the SACA Unit at 613-236-1222, extension 5944, or email SACA@ottawapolice.ca. Anonymous tips can be submitted to Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.
This case highlights the importance of reporting historical sexual offences, as law enforcement continues to pursue justice for survivors regardless of when the incidents occurred.
