Winnipeg city councillor charged with serious sexual assault: police
WINNIPEG — A Winnipeg city councillor has been charged with sexual assaulting a woman six months ago.
Russ Wyatt, 48, was arrested Tuesday after lab results came back, and has been released pending a future court date, a city police spokesman said.
Const. Rob Carver would not reveal details of the allegations on Wednesday, other than to say the alleged crime is a “serious sexual assault” that occurred in a home that was not Wyatt’s on Jan. 14.
The alleged victim is a woman known to Wyatt, but who is not his wife, and is not believed to be a city employee, Carver added.
