New Brunswick woman arrested after alleged sexual assault on youth at summer camp

Police in New Brunswick are looking for other possible victims after charging a woman with sexually assaulting a youth at a summer camp.

The RCMP said they received a report last month of a sexual assault against a youth by a cook at a camp in Johnstone Point, a rural coastal area.

Earlier this month, a 46-year-old woman was arrested at a school in southeastern New Brunswick, the Mounties said in a Monday news release.

Police said she was charged with sexual assault, sexual interference and indecent exposure to a person under 16 years of age.

She was later released on conditions and is scheduled to appear in Moncton provincial court on Oct. 7, according to a news release.

Meanwhile, police say they are continuing their investigation to determine if other potential victims attended the camp.

The superintendent of the Anglophone East School District in a letter sent Monday to families acknowledged that an individual was arrested at Port Elgin Regional School on Sept. 8.

Rudolph MacLean, who is also the school district’s CEO, said the woman facing charges has not been at work since the time of her arrest.

“We understand that this information may be concerning for families and appreciate your understanding as the RCMP continues their investigation,” he wrote.

MacLean added the school district wouldn’t be able to provide any further information due to the ongoing investigation.
