Darpan News Desk The Canadian Press, 15 Jun, 2023 09:43 AM
  • Man found guilty of sexual assault

A B-C man has been found guilty of sexual assault stemming from an attack in Metro Vancouver in early 2022.

North Vancouver R-C-M-P say Mission resident Jairus-Paul Sacramento is to be sentenced in court at a later date.

Police say the alleged attack happened on February 13th, 2022, at North Vancouver's Lynn Valley trail, and a tip from the public led to Sacramento's arrest later in Abbotsford.

Police say they are grateful for the public's help in resolving the case, since it "impacted the community's sense of safety."
