Edmonton, Alberta (Canadian Press) – An RCMP officer serving with the Fort Saskatchewan detachment east of Edmonton has been charged with sexual assault.
Mario Jimenez, 36, has been with the Mounties for 18 months.
The alleged sex assault goes back to last November at a time when Jimenez was off-duty.
Clifton Purvis of the Alberta Serious Incident Response Team says the unit was called in to investigate because of the sensitive nature of the case.
Purvis says further details cannot be disclosed to protect the identity of the victim, who was known to the accused.
Jimenez has been released on court-ordered conditions and is to make his first court appearance Jan. 29.
