A 32-year-old Edmonton man has been arrested and charged with sexual assault in connection to an attack on an elderly woman in southeast Edmonton early Wednesday morning. At approximately 1:30 a.m., Wednesday, May 1, 2019, Southeast Division patrol members responded to a report of a sexual assault being committed against an 81-year-old woman at a residence near 50 Street and 25 Avenue.
It was reported to police that a male suspect was alleged to have broken into the elderly woman’s residence and sexually assaulted her. The complainant resisted, and the suspect eventually fled the scene on foot.
The elderly complainant was treated and transported to hospital for treatment.
Canine PSD members attempted to track the suspect throughout the area, but were unsuccessful. Through the combined efforts of EPS Sexual Assault investigators, Forensic Identification Services Section and Southeast Division members, a male suspect was identified and taken into custody at a southeast residence, at approximately 12:30 p.m. Wednesday afternoon.
Investigators have since charged Ahmed Hassan Iltire, 32, with break and enter and sexual assault.
