A Kitchener man has been charged in connection with a sexual assault investigation in Mississauga.

On Saturday, July 17, it's alleged the victim was followed around a shopping centre by a man, filming and photographing the victim with an electronic device, before the alleged sexual assault took place.

A similar incident, involving a different victim, happened at a department store on Monday, August 2.

Police arrested a man that day. 26-year-old Jordan Jefferies faces two counts of criminal harassment, voyeurism and sexual assault.

Jefferies is described as Black, light-skinned, 6’, 190 lbs, thin build, black long curly hair sometimes worn in a bun and a black beard.  

He is set to appear in a Brampton court on October 29.

Peel Regional Police are still looking for witnesses and other potential victims. They can call police at (905) 453–2121, ext. 1133.  Anonymous information may also be submitted by calling Peel Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477).
