Nova Scotia RCMP investigating 70 alleged sexual assaults at youth centre
HALIFAX - The RCMP are investigating at least 70 cases of sexual assault at a youth detention facility in Nova Scotia’s Annapolis Valley, and they say up to 200 people may come forward.
“This is the biggest investigation I’ve been involved with in 19 years of service,” Fitzpatrick, a veteran investigator of sex crimes, told reporters. Herbert said she cannot confirm the identity of the alleged perpetrator or whether more than one person was involved. The lawsuit’s statement of claim, which has not been proven in court, said the youths at Waterville have suffered harm ranging from inappropriate touching to sexual assault.
