Imam Is Charged with Sexual Assault in Toronto; Charges Involve Five Male and Female Victims

The Cybercast News Service website reports today (August 17, 2011) that police have charged an imam at a Toronto mosque with 13 counts of sexual assault, and say there may be more victims in several other countries.

Detective Karen Armstrong said today that Mohammad Masroor, 48, abused his position of authority when he taught the Quran to students at the Baitul Mukarram Islamic Society and in private homes in Toronto since arriving in Canada in 2008.

Armstrong said Masroor also worked in France, Germany, Bangladesh, Hungary, Singapore, Sri Lanka, and most recently Florida and Michigan in the United States.

She said the charges involve five victims -- both male and female -- and that the investigation is ongoing.
