A short list from the Biggar RCMP in their March 31 report still managed to make headlines.
Their final report of March confirmed an investigation into a situation with local teens, as SGT. Dereck Crozier shared the following.
"Report of a sexual assault between teenagers at a teen party in a rural area. Investigation is ongoing into the circumstances."
While more information will need to be processed on that, another sexually charged call dealt with by police detailed a case of 'revenge porn', as police received reports of, "malicious sharing of intimate images after the end of a bad relationship."
Just last week Biggar RCMP gave a warning against sharing pictures. Crozier talked about the odds of a conviction in these cases, and what other options people have to seek justice if the criminal court system doesn't work out.
"At times it can be hard to reach the threshold of criminal court, and the burden of proof required for a conviction. But Saskatchewan has legislation in place for victims of “revenge porn” to seek justice through the civil court process."
