Lloydminster resident, 42, charged with sexual assault

Lloydminster RCMP have charged a 42-year-old Lloydminster resident with sexual assault following a complaint involving a minor, police said. The complaint was received on Oct. 26, 2026, and the investigation remains ongoing.

Police said investigators executed a search warrant at a residence in Lloydminster on Oct. 27 as part of the investigation that followed the complaint. Investigators arrested the resident and laid one count of sexual assault, according to the RCMP.

The accused was brought before the Alberta Court of Justice and remanded into custody, police said. The person's last court appearance was on Oct. 28, 2026, according to the release. Police said the investigation is continuing.

The Alberta RCMP said criminal charges are allegations that must be proven in court and that accused people are presumed innocent until proven guilty. Police urged the public not to speculate or comment on social media about the matter, saying ongoing court proceedings must be allowed to proceed fairly.

Anyone with information related to the incident who has not yet spoken with investigators is asked to contact Lloydminster RCMP at 780-808-8400. Police issued the appeal in a Nov. 6 news release about the charge and the ongoing investigation.
