A Jiu-Jitsu instructor in Ottawa is facing various sex charges after police were called in to investigate his relationship with a female student.
Police arrested and charged 27-year-old Udiyan Vigneswaren on Tuesday after receiving a complaint earlier this week.
"The purpose is to really try to prevent this from happening to other victims," said Acting Insp. John McGetrick.
Police would not specify where the instructor worked or how long he had been teaching his alleged victim, who is under 16 years old. Investigators are concerned the information would help identify the young girl.
Vigneswaren is charged with sexual assault, sexual interference and invitation to sexual touching.
Anyone with information about the incident is asked to contact Ottawa police at 613-236-1222, ext. 5944 or Crime Stoppers at 613-233-TIPS.
