Teacher’s assistant in Gravelbourg charged with sexual assault: RCMP

A Moose Jaw woman working as a teacher’s assistant at a school in Gravelbourg has been accused of sexually assaulting a teen student.

According to the RCMP, the alleged crimes against the male victim – a student at École Gravelbourg School – were first reported to police in September. A media release from the Mounties didn’t say how old the victim was.

After what the RCMP described as “a lengthy investigation,” Dannica Lowes of Moose Jaw was charged with sexual assault, sexual interference, luring a child, making sexually explicit material available to a child, invitation to sexual touching, and possession of child pornography.

Lowes was arrested last Thursday, and is set to appear in court next month.

“Thorough and sensitive investigation into reports of sexual-based offences is an utmost priority for the Saskatchewan RCMP,” the Mounties said in a statement.

“As part of this investigation – and any other investigation into reports of sexual assaults against children or other vulnerable populations – Saskatchewan RCMP will work to determine if there are additional victims.”

Police asked anyone who has information that could help the investigation to contact their local RCMP detachment or Crime Stoppers.
