Need for Alberta officers trained for child sex assault cases grows
WATCH (June 1, 2018): Currently, the Zebra Centre alone is working on 122 child sexual assault investigations. As the number grows, so does the need for specially trained officers. Kendra Slugoski reports – Jun 1, 2018

After charging a 45-year-old man from Foothills County with sexual offences involving children in June 2021, investigators now believe there may be other victims.

Following two RCMP investigations, Matthew Wade Kinch was charged with three counts of sexual assault, two counts of sexual interference and two counts of failing to comply with a release order.

The case is currently before the courts and the accused is scheduled to appear in provincial court in Turner Valley on Jan. 17, 2023.

However, RCMP investigators believe there may be more victims.

“The Alberta RCMP are continuing their investigation and are asking the public to come forward with any similar type incidents.”
