The investigation, launched on Sept. 8, 2023, found reasonable grounds to believe an offence had occurred. In accordance with the Police Act, the case was referred to the Alberta Crown Prosecution Service (ACPS) to determine whether the evidence met the standard for prosecution.
After reviewing the investigation and receiving confirmation from the ACPS that charges were warranted, ASIRT Acting Executive Director Matthew Block approved charges against Const. Renzo Geronimo.
On Nov. 5, Geronimo was charged with sexual assault, unlawful confinement, unlawfully being in a dwelling house, and breach of trust. He has been released on an undertaking and is scheduled to appear in Edmonton Court of Justice on Dec. 10.
No further information will be released as the matter is now before the courts.
