York Regional Police have charged a 19-year-old ride operator following an alleged sexual assault involving a youth at Canada’s Wonderland.

Police allege the incident occurred while the youth was boarding a ride and the operator was performing a routine safety check. The accused, Jugaad Dhami, 19, of Brampton, has been charged with:
▪️ Sexual Assault
▪️ Sexual Interference

York Regional Police have publicly released the accused’s photograph, stating they believe there may be additional victims.

This case is another heartbreaking reminder that children can be vulnerable even in places families trust.

It reinforces why stronger protections, greater accountability, and better safeguards for children are urgently needed.

If you believe Canada needs stronger laws to better protect children and vulnerable people, please consider signing our House of Commons petition calling for the creation of a limited public registry for individuals convicted of serious sexual offences against children and other vulnerable persons.
