A 32-year-old Vancouver man is facing a mountain of criminal charges after police say he sexually exploited and trafficked multiple teenage girls between the ages of 13 and 17.
Authorities identified the suspect as Kulvir S. Brar. In a Facebook post Wednesday, the Vancouver Police Department said detectives arrested Brar after a months-long investigation and booked him on allegations including rape, sexual exploitation of a minor, commercial sex abuse of a minor, first- and second-degree trafficking, and several counts related to possession of explicit material involving juveniles. The post also lists charges for providing liquor, tobacco and controlled substances to minors, and notes that prosecutors have filed 39 additional counts, according to the Vancouver Police Department.
Investigation timeline
According to the department, the investigation began in July 2025. Detectives first arrested Brar on Dec. 4, 2025, after contacting him during a traffic stop, then served a search warrant at his unit in the Columbia at the Waterfront complex (1111 W Columbia Way), according to the Vancouver Police Department.
What police say about victims
Investigators say Brar groomed and recruited some of the alleged victims, and that some teens were given alcohol or controlled substances before being exploited. Detectives also believe there may be additional juvenile victims who have not yet come forward and are urging anyone with information to contact them.
Legal context
Under Washington law, sexual exploitation of a minor is a felony under RCW 9.68A.040 and trafficking offenses are defined in RCW 9A.40.100. Both carry serious penalties. The full statutory language is available in the Revised Code of Washington at RCW 9.68A.040 and RCW 9A.40.100. Brar, like any defendant, is presumed innocent until proven guilty in court.

Police are asking anyone with information related to the case to contact Detective Clayton Agbisit at [email protected] or Detective LeAnn Cone at [email protected].
