Indian-Origin Liquor Store Owner Kulvir Brar Arrested in US for Offering Underage Girls Drugs for S*x

New Delhi, March 25: Kulvir Brar, a 32-year-old liquor store owner, is facing 39 criminal charges following an intensive investigation into allegations of s*x trafficking, child molestation, and the distribution of controlled substances to minors. Brar, who operated Boondox Liquor Plus in Longview, was initially arrested in late 2025, but the scope of the case has expanded significantly as more victims have come forward. During a recent court appearance, Judge Christine Hayes increased Brar’s bail from USD 500,000 to USD 750,000, labeling him a "considerable threat to the community."

Investigation and Arrest

The investigation into Brar’s activities began in July 2025 after the Oregon Department of Human Services alerted the Vancouver Police Department. A 15-year-old girl reported being coerced into s*xual acts by a man using the Snapchat handle "pnwmolly" in exchange for "weed pens." Detectives later identified the account holder as Brar. ‘Eminently F***able’: Indian-Origin Businessman Vikas Nath Accused of Spiking Woman’s Drink in UK.

Following his initial arrest on December 4, 2025, for indecent communication with a minor, police executed a search warrant at his waterfront residence. The search uncovered a variety of illicit items, including cocaine, MDMA, psilocybin mushrooms, a firearm, and dozens of nicotine vaping devices.

Modus Operandi

Prosecutors allege that Brar used social media to target vulnerable young girls, often complimenting their appearance before offering them drugs, alcohol, or access to his apartment's rooftop pool. According to court records, Brar allegedly used his wealth and status as a business owner to intimidate victims, claiming he was not afraid of legal consequences because he had "good lawyers."

Surveillance footage from Brar’s residence reportedly showed juvenile females entering the building wearing disposable masks. Investigators later found 14 similar masks inside Brar’s vehicle, some of which bore makeup smudges. UK: Indian-Origin Woman Raped in Walsall's Park Hall Area, Police Call 'Racially Aggravated' Attack Horrific; 1 Arrested.

Details of the Charges

The 39 charges currently filed against Brar represent a broad spectrum of alleged criminal activity, including:

• S*x Trafficking: Five counts of first and second-degree trafficking.
• S*xual Assault: Multiple counts of rape (second and third degree) and child molestation.
• Drug Distribution: Five counts of distributing controlled substances to minors and three counts of possession with intent to sell.
• Exploitation: Possession of child s*xual abuse material and sexual exploitation of a minor.

One victim told investigators that Brar raped her on her birthday after providing her with a cocktail of MDMA, cocaine, and alcohol until she was physically incapacitated.

Legal Background and Community Impact

The case has sent shockwaves through the local community, particularly in Longview where Brar operated his business. Legal experts note that the sheer volume of charges and the nature of the evidence, including digital footprints and physical items recovered during raids, suggest a complex, long-running operation.

Brar remains in custody as the legal proceedings continue. If convicted on the top-tier trafficking and rape charges, he faces the possibility of decades in prison. Authorities continue to encourage anyone with additional information to come forward as the investigation remains active.
