A Medicine Hat man has been charged with sexual assault following an investigation into alleged incidents reported at a local assisted living facility.
In September of 2023, the Medicine Hat Police Service (MHPS) received two separate reports of sexual assaults that had occurred to residents of the Masterpiece Southland Meadows retirement / assisted living facility.
