A man being described by RCMP as a prominent member of Kelowna, B.C.’s equestrian community has been arrested in the wake of allegations of sexual assault and sexual exploitation.
“Our investigators believe there may be additional victims as the accused has been involved in the equestrian community for a number of years,” Cpl. Tim Russell with the Kelowna RCMP vulnerable persons unit said.
“Based on this belief, we are asking anyone in the equestrian community who believes they may have also been victim to an offence of a sexual nature, to please come forward and report those incidents to police.”
