LASHBURN — Maidstone RCMP are looking for a man after a child was sexually assaulted at the Lashburn Sportsplex Sunday.

RCMP say they received a report of a sexual assault by an adult male on a female child under the age of 10 in a dressing room at the rink sometime between noon and 1:30 p.m. Jan. 29. The child reported the sexual assault to her parents, who contacted police.

RCMP say, “a significant police investigation is active and ongoing at this time.”

The suspect is described as a male in his 40s, with dark hair, clean-shaven and wearing a black jacket.

“We want to assure the public that we are dedicating all possible resources to this investigation. Members of the public can help progress this investigation by reporting all information about this incident, and by contacting us if you took any photos or videos in the lobby of the Lashburn Sportsplex between noon and 1:30 p.m. on Jan. 29. We are also interested in any home security footage that captures the roadway in the arena area, from the same timeframe,” says Maidstone RCMP Sgt. Jolyne Harrison. “We want parents and guardians to be aware of this incident and the suspect’s description, so they can take safety precautions and have conversations with children about it, as they deem appropriate.”
