Man to face court for alleged sexual assault

Facing Court

A 20-year-old Acton man has been charged following an alleged sexual assault in April 2021.

The matter was first reported to police in August (2021) and a formal statement regarding the incident was received by police earlier this week.

Detectives from ACT Policing’s Criminal Investigations - Sexual Assault and Child Abuse Team executed a search warrant in Acton yesterday and subsequently charged the man with two counts of sexual intercourse without consent.

The man is scheduled to appear in the ACT Magistrates Court today (Saturday, 18 September 2021). The maximum penalty for this offence is 12 years imprisonment.
