A recent sexual assault report in Cranberry Portage is a “legitimate complaint” in the view of the RCMP, says spokesman Sgt. Bert Paquet.

Paquet said Wednesday there were “no significant updates” as the Mounties continued their investigation of the incident.

As The Reminder previously reported, police received a report of a sexual assault said to have occurred in Cranberry Portage overnight between Sunday, March 6 and Monday, March 7.

Paquet previously said initial investigation established a possible location: a residence under renovation.

Officers attended the residence and found physical evidence of a break-and-enter and a possible sexual assault, he said, adding that the break-and-enter had earlier been reported to police.

Police made no further details available.
