A man accused of a child sex crime made a first appearance at Grand Forks provincial court Tuesday, Dec. 14.
The man, who cannot be named because of a court-ordered publication ban, faces one count each of sexual interference with a person under 16, and sexual assault.
Judge Craig Sicotte advised the accused to seek legal advice before entering a plea.

“I can’t imagine that the Crown wouldn’t be looking for some kind of jail sentence … which may be lengthy,” Sicotte said.
The charges stem from incidents alleged to have occurred in the fall of 2021, in Grand Forks.
Sicotte put both matters forward to Grand Forks’ next circuit court date on Jan. 11, 2022. The man has not yet entered a plea.
