It was reported that on Nov. 22, 2015 around 3 a.m., a woman was walking in the area of 118 Avenue and 103 Street when she was approached by a lone male offering a cigarette. The woman accepted the cigarette and continued to walk down the road. It is alleged that the male then presented a knife and sexually assaulted the woman. The male suspect fled the area shortly after the incident.
It was reported that about a month and a half later (Jan. 4, 2016), a 16 year old female was in the area of 100 Street and Jasper Avenue. She approached a man in the area, requesting a cigarette, and conversed with him on her way home. Upon approaching and entering her residence, the male sexually assaulted the female and fled.
Investigations have since identified the accused and connected him to both sexual assault incidents.
On Thursday, Jan. 14, 2016, Carlo Fredrick Berg, 26, was charged with sexual assault, sexual assault with a weapon, possession of a weapon for a dangerous purpose, forcible confinement and breach of recognizance (x2).
Carlo Fredrick Berg, 26
