RCMP received a report about the alleged offences in September 2024. It said the alleged offences occurred between 2004 and 2008 when the complainant was a youth and Nanji was in a position of trust or authority.
“Reporting incidents of sexual abuse can be extremely difficult, particularly when the events occurred many years ago,” said Richmond RCMP’s Cpl. Frank Bryson in a statement.
“We recognize the courage it takes for victims to come forward and encourage anyone who may have information related to this investigation, or who believes they may have experienced a similar incident, to contact police.”
A publication ban is in place to protect the identity of the complainant.
Anyone with information about the case is asked to contact Richmond RCMP at 604-278-1212.
