ASSINIBOIA – A 46-year-old man has been charged with sexually assaulting three male youths under the age of 12 in the mid 2010s. He was arrested on Nov. 28.
In November, Coronach RCMP had received a report of a historic sexual assault. As a result of this ongoing investigation, on Nov. 27, Saskatchewan RCMP’s General Investigation Section (GIS) with the assistance of the Saskatchewan Internet Child Exploitation Unit (ICE) and the Coronach and Assiniboia RCMP executed a search warrant at a home in Assiniboia. He was arrested without incident at the residence.
He is charged with three counts of sexual assault, three counts of sexual interference, two counts of invitation to sexual touching, and three counts of make sexually explicit material available to a child under 16.
He was remanded in custody until his next appearance in Moose Jaw Provincial Court on Nov. 29.
RCMP say it was determined that a home-based daycare was operating at this residence. The GIS and ICE units are continuing the investigation.
A thorough and sensitive investigation into instances of sexual offences is an utmost priority for the Saskatchewan RCMP. As part of this investigation – and any other investigation into reports of sexual offences against children or other vulnerable populations – Saskatchewan RCMP will work to determine if there are additional victims.
Police say they are unable to provide any additional detail at this time to protect investigational integrity as well as the privacy of the victims.
