On Aug. 30, 2025, Gurvinder Pannu, 32, was arrested and charged with sexual assault.

“Following a thorough investigation, we were able to successfully arrest and charge this suspect,” says Cst. Mughees Jutt with the EPS’ Southwest Branch. “We unfortunately believe that there are others who have been impacted by this individual and we would like them to come forward so we can investigate and provide them with appropriate supports.”
Due to the nature of the sexual assault, investigators believe there may be additional complainants and are asking anyone who may have experienced a similar incident to come forward.
