Simranjit Singh Sekhon Charged in Alleged Rape of Unconscious Passenger in Camarillo

Detectives are seeking additional victims in an active investigation.

Overview

  • Ventura County deputies arrested Sekhon, 35, on Dec. 15 and booked him on a charge of rape of an unconscious person with bail set at $500,000.
  • The case stems from a late-November ride in which a 21-year-old woman was picked up in Thousand Oaks, became unconscious, and was allegedly assaulted after the ride was marked complete in Camarillo.
  • Authorities say the victim was intoxicated and unable to care for herself when the driver continued to drive her around Camarillo and then sexually assaulted her.
  • Court records reported by multiple outlets indicate Sekhon pleaded not guilty at arraignment, with his next hearing scheduled for Dec. 29.
  • Officials have not identified the rideshare or cab company involved, and investigators urge anyone with information to contact Detective Mitchell Peterson or submit anonymous tips to Crime Stoppers.
