An 18-year-old man has been charged in connection to the sexual assault of a youth in the Alberta village of Kitscoty “sometime in the preceding weeks.”
It was reported to RCMP on Feb. 27.
Gage Wolfe has since been arrested and charged with aggravated sexual assault, sexual assault, two counts of sexual interference and two counts of failing to comply with an undertaking.
Wolfe had a hearing and was released under conditions. He’s scheduled to appear in court on March 28.
“These charges are very serious in nature and Kitscoty RCMP ensured that a thorough investigation was completed,” RCMP Sgt. Corey Buckingham said.
Kitscoty RCMP believe that there may be more victims.
“We want to help any other potential victims, and strongly encourage them to come forward so we can properly investigate, but also guide them to any resources they may require,” Buckingham said.
