Lumsden man facing charges after two alleged sexual assaults in Regina
A 39-year-old man from Lumsden has been charged after two separate incidents involving women who were allegedly driven to the far west side of Regina and sexually assaulted.
On Friday April 11, officers were sent to the 2300 block of Sandra Schmirler Way near the Caledonian Curling Club, states a Regina Police Service (RPS) news release.
'Police arrived and located an injured adult female, and learned that she had been the victim of a sexual assault,' the release says.
On Saturday May 3, police were dispatched back to the same area where it was reported that a 'female had been robbed and sexually assaulted.'
Police located the woman when they arrived.
'Both victims reported they were in the North Central area when they entered a white pick-up truck. They were then driven to an area west of Lewvan Drive on 13th Avenue where they were assaulted,' states the release.
Police arrested the 39-year-old man on May 8 and he has been charged with: aggravated sexual assault; sexual assault by choking, suffocating, or strangling; robbery and sexual assault.
He was scheduled to make a fist appearance on the charges in Regina provincial court on Friday.
Police believe there may be more victims and urges anyone with information to call the RPS at 306-777-6500.
