A Brampton man has been charged after recurring contact with Peel paramedics that led to harassment and sexual assault.
Peel police say between April 2022 and February 2023, the suspect allegedly committed multiple inappropriate acts towards female first responders, including unwanted physical touching and offensive sexual comments while paramedics were providing medical-related care.
Konstantin Golov, 34, of Brampton was arrested and charged with criminal harassment, two counts of sexual assault, two counts of mischief and uttering threats.
“This troubling series of events and pattern of behaviour caused great concern for the members of Peel Paramedic Services and all of us at Peel Regional Police,” said deputy chief Marc Andrews in a statement.”
“Those providing critical care to our community should feel safe at all times. This most recent arrest will help assure our first responder partners, and our community, that activities and behaviour such as this will not be tolerated.”
Investigators believe there may be additional victims, including but not limited to female paramedics, and are asking anyone with information to come forward.
