Imam Abdi Hersy

CALGARY – A Calgary imam wanted in the United States on outstanding criminal charges is denying the allegations.

A warrant has been issued for the arrest of Imam Abdi Hersy in connection to two alleged sexual assaults.

A search of his case records through the Minnesota Judicial Branch confirms six charges were laid against Hersy in 2006, including two charges of 4th degree criminal sexual conduct, two charges of criminal abuse and two charges of 5th degree criminal sexual conduct.

Abdi tells Global News he surrendered himself to the sheriff’s office in Minnesota but was deported back to Canada before being able to answer to the charges.
