The Liberal by-election campaign in the Ontario riding of Scarborough Southwest is facing heat after a new investigative report by The Bureau found that a convicted child sex predator was photographed with former NDP MPP Doly Begum in her campaign to represent the riding as a federal Liberal.
The report by The Bureau founder, Sam Cooper, unveiled, through analyzing multiple campaign photos, videos and CBC reports, in which Yusuf Ali Talukdur, convicted in 2010 by an Ontario Court for sexually touching a young girl under the age of 14, was photographed alongside Begum at several campaign events. The campaign has denied knowing about Talukdur’s conviction and said he does not hold an official role on the campaign.
