KAMLOOPS — Kamloops RCMP say a local man has been charged after a pair of sex assaults over the summer.
In a news release, RCMP say the incidents took place on the afternoon of July 17. Two separate women came to RCMP to report they had been sexually assaulted within minutes of each other at the same location in the 200-block of Seymour Street.
Supt. Jeff Pelley says charges were approved on October 4.
“In working together with our frontline officers, members of the Kamloops RCMP Detachment’s Sex Crimes Unit and General Investigations Support Team were able to quickly identify a suspect and advance the investigation to the charge recommendation stage,” said Pelley in the release. “On Oct. 4, the BC Prosecution Service approved charges and requested a warrant for the accused, leading to his being taken into custody by police on Oct. 5, where he remains until his next court appearance.”
