York Regional Police have arrested and charged a table tennis coach in the alleged sexual assault of one of his students in Newmarket.
Authorities commenced an investigation earlier this week after a student reported several sexual assaults that occurred in the fall of 2022 and continued into this year when she was 13 years old.
Police said the sexual assaults happened during private lessons at the coach’s home, where he ran a club called JF Table Tennis Club, which is located in Mississauga. Officers add that he has had access to children through his tennis table coaching.
On Tuesday, authorities arrested and identified 38-year-old Jianfei Sun of Newmarket. He’s facing three counts of sexual assault, three counts of sexual interference under 16 and an invitation to sexual touching.
