VERNON — A man accused of violence against sex workers has pleaded not guilty to five charges in a Vernon courtroom at the start of a seven-day trial.
Curtis Sagmoen pleaded not guilty Monday (Sept 9) to disguising his face with intent to commit an offence, uttering threats, possession of a controlled substance and two firearm offences.
The 39-year-old man was charged in October 2017 after police used a warrant to search a property in Salmon Arm. It’s the same area where police found the remains of 18-year-old Traci Genereaux while searching a farm that belonged to Wayne and Evelyn Sagmoen.
No charges have been laid in the Genereaux case and police have not named a suspect.
