Calgary Police Search for Man Accused of Sexually Assaulting Woman on LRT Platform – Calgary | The Canadian News

Calgary police are searching for a man they believe sexually assaulted a woman downtown last month.

According to investigators, the woman was standing with a group of other people at an LRT station on 3 Street SW, around 6 p.m. on Saturday, September 4, 2021, when the man approached them, shouting obscenities.

The man then reportedly approached the woman, sexually assaulted her, and then walked away.

The man is described as being approximately 5’9 ″ tall, 25 to 30 years old, with a robust build and a goatee.

At the time of the incident, he was wearing a black T-shirt with a white logo on the front and back, jeans and black Converse-style shoes with a white sole.

“We take these incidents very seriously and encourage anyone who has been the victim of sexual assault to contact us, regardless of when the incident occurred,” Calgary Police said in a news release.

“There are no time restrictions in Canada on the time police have to press charges after a crime occurs.”

Police also said that anyone who has been the victim of sexual assault can seek medical attention without police involvement through the Calgary Sexual Assault Response Team.

“Individuals can access medical care for up to four days after a sexual assault occurs and will receive confidential care and counseling support,” CPS said.

“Medical staff will collect and retain key physical evidence from the victims, which is then stored for up to one year and only provided to the police if the victim decides to report the assault.”

Anyone with information about the incident is asked to contact the police at 403-266-1234 or contact Crime Stoppers.
