RCMP said in a news release on March 14 that a man has been charged with sexual assault and sexual interference after a woman arranged a ride to Saskatoon via a Facebook group serving the Fort Qu’Appelle area.

The man was arrested by Indian Head RCMP and the investigation by Craik RCMP is ongoing, police said, and if investigation determines there are additional victims or a risk to public safety, more information about the accused man would be supplied.
Police said people should use precautions when using social media-based informal ride sharing services.
They said that the ride sharing services often exist on Facebook groups, and connect those seeking a ride with those willing to provide one in informal arrangements and are not connected to commercial ride-share services.
Police said people should:
- Be sure they know and trust the person they are seeking a ride from.
- Let someone know when leaving and the expected arrival time. Consider providing information about the vehicle’s make, colour and plate.
- If negotiating a ride and something feels off, trust their instinct and find an alternative way to travel.
Anyone with information or wanting to report a similar incident is asked to call Saskatchewan RCMP at 310-RCMP, their local police service or to inform Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 or at saskcrimestoppers.com.
