RCMP officers in Spiritwood are looking into an alleged sexual assault that was reported on Monday.
The RCMP said an investigation determined the assault happened to a child under age 10 at a home in Spiritwood.
On Tuesday, 19-year-old Jayden Stephenson was arrested, and is now facing charges including sexual interference and sexual assault. According to police, the child was known to Stephenson.
“We are not releasing a specific age or the gender of the child to protect their privacy, as this is a small community,” police said in a media release.
He is set to appear in court in Spiritwood on Jan 9. The allegations have not been proven in court.
“Saskatchewan RCMP will work to determine if there are any additional victims. Investigators are aware that the accused has previously worked or lived in environments where children were present,” police said.
The investigation is being assisted by the North Battleford RCMP’s General Investigation Section.
Anyone with information on the case was urged to contact their local RCMP detachment or Crime Stoppers.
