In January, Peterborough Police Service Sex Unit detectives were made aware of incidents that happened in the early 1990s when the victim was 16 years old and placed into the care of a Peterborough family.  It was learned that the incidents had continued for several years.  Through investigation, Police found that the suspect was located in Quebec. 

On Sept. 26, a Canada-wide warrant for the suspect was issued. Officers in Quebec executed the warrant, and the suspect was brought back to Peterborough by officers with Peterborough Police on Thursday.

The woman was arrested on the strength of the warrant and charged with:

  • Sexual Exploitation X2

  • Sexual Assault

The accused is held in custody and will appear in court on Friday.
