York Regional Police have charged a Richmond Hill man after an investigation into an incident at a business in the area of Silver Linden Drive and High Tech Road on Friday, May 10 at around 10:30 p.m.

Investigators say a female was at the business when she noticed a man standing unusually close to her.

“When the victim turned to face the male, he was observed with his genitals exposed while committing a sexual act,” a police release alleged.

The female immediately fled the area and wasn’t physically injured.

Security video showed the suspect jumping into a dark grey SUV and leaving the area.

On Wednesday, November, 27, Kiarash Irani Anaraki, 36, of Richmond Hill, was charged with one count of Indecent Act.
