A 36-year-old man has been charged with sexual assault after Calgary police say a man broke into an elderly woman’s home and sexually assaulted her.
At around 11 p.m. on Jan. 1, officers were called to a home in northwest Calgary after a 90-year-old woman reported a man entered her apartment and sexually assaulted her.
“This was a shocking and heinous crime committed on a vulnerable member of our community,” Staff Sgt. Michelle Doyle said in a Friday news release.
“We will continue to ensure the victim has access to supports to help them through this difficult time.”
Duran Ross Buffalo faces a total of seven charges, which include aggravated sexual assault, break and enter to commit aggravated sexual assault and assault of a police officer.
He is known to police and was arrested in 2017, after an incident at a McDonald’s in a Calgary Walmart.
The incident caused 30 panicked people to run screaming from the restaurant in Marlborough Mall just after 6 p.m. on Aug. 16, 2017 after a man came into the restaurant with a gun.
The rifle, which officers say looked very real, turned out to be a paintball gun.
Buffalo was charged with possession of drugs, possession of an imitation weapon for a dangerous purpose, carrying a concealed weapon and use of imitation firearm during commission of offence and mischief.
Calgary police reminded victims they can report sexual assault to police by calling 403-266-1234 and there is no time limit on how long a victim has to report a sexual assault in Canada.
