NORTH BATTLEFORD - A woman facing several charges including sexual assault following alleged reports at a care facility in Wilkie is now scheduled for trial.
Police previously reported that on Feb. 28, 2024, Wilkie RCMP received a report of multiple physical and sexual assaults that occurred at a care facility.
After investigating, police determined that between January 2023 and February 2024, at least four adult residents of the facility were allegedly assaulted, sexually assaulted and/or threatened by a female staff member. The accused has not worked at the facility since February 2024.
As a result of the investigation, a 36-year-old woman from Wilkie was arrested on Feb. 29, 2024, and charged with: four counts of assault; three counts of sexual assault; one count of sexual assault with a weapon; and one count of uttering threats.
The accused was scheduled to appear in North Battleford Provincial Court on June 2. Her case was adjourned, so her next court appearance will be June 9 to be spoken to.
The woman, who previously pleaded not guilty to the charges, is currently set for a trial at North Battleford provincial court on Aug. 11, 12 and 13.
