Durham law enforcement officials have apprehended a 39-year-old man after probing two separate sexual assault cases in Whitby.
The initial incident took place on the evening of August 17, 2024, around 11:15 p.m. A woman was near Quebec Street in Oshawa when she was approached by a man who offered her a ride. Unfortunately, instead of her intended destination, she was driven to an industrial zone in Whitby where the assault occurred.
The second assault was reported on January 12, 2025, just after 4 a.m. Another woman in the area of Simcoe Street South and Hall Street in Oshawa fell victim to the same suspect offering her a ride. She was then taken to Moore Court and William Smith Drive in Whitby, where the assault took place.
On October 14, 2025, the police apprehended the suspect without any trouble.
The accused individual has been identified as 39-year-old Ravi Tirbaney from Scarborough. He is facing two charges of sexual assault and remains in custody pending a bail hearing.
Authorities express worries about the possibility of more victims. A picture of the accused along with his vehicle has been made public.
Individuals with any relevant information are urged to reach out to the investigators.
