CALGARY – Police in Calgary have laid sexual assault charges against a man who volunteered helping newcomers come to Canada.

They say that last month an adult complainant came to a police station to report multiple sexual assaults between December 2023 and June 2024.

Police say the accused had been assigned to a newcomer family through a local organization, and they allege he took advantage of the complainant’s immigration status to commit the assaults.

Insp. Keith Hurley says in a news release that reporting a crime will not affect anyone’s immigration status.

An 83-year-old man has been charged with three counts of sexual assault.

He’s next to appear in court on Nov. 27.

This report by The Canadian Press was first published Nov. 6, 2024.
