Cecil Wolfe facing additional charge in Saskatchewan RCMP sexual assault investigation | The Canadian News

Cecil Wolfe has been charged with an additional count of sexual assault after continued investigation by the Saskatchewan RCMP.

Wolfe was first charged with one count of sexual assault in September 2021 by the Saskatoon Police sex crimes unit.

Police were concerned there may be other victims and asked anyone with information to call them.

Since then, Wolfe has been charged with six more sexual assault offenses under RCMP jurisdiction, including the new charge.

According to a previous RCMP release, it was reported Wolfe was working under the pretext of being a traditional healer or medicine man when he encountered the victims.

The investigation is still active and victims are encouraged to contact their nearest RCMP detachment or police service.

Wolfe will appear in Saskatoon Provincial Court on Feb. 16.
