Woman accused of sex crimes involving teens enters into peace bond on some charges
Three charges have been dropped in a sex crimes case involving a 34-year-old central Alberta woman and several teenaged boys, but more serious charges involving one teen will still go ahead. Alexa Suitor, of Sundre, was charged last year with sexual interference, sexual assault and four counts of making sexually explicit material available to a child and was set to appear in court Monday for a preliminary hearing. Instead, she entered into a peace bond, agreeing to stay away from three of the complainants. As a result, three charges of making sexually explicit material available to a child were withdrawn, according to Crown prosecutor Ron Simenik. Conditions of Suitor's two-year peace bond include having no contact or communication with the alleged victims and the one witness named in the case. Suitor will be back in court on Aug. 15 to set a trial date on the charges of sexual interference, sexual assault and making sexually explicit material available to a child involving one complainant. She was arrested on April 8, 2024. Parents in the community of Sundre told CTV News all the alleged victims were under 16 years old at the time of the alleged offences, said to have taken place at a New Year's Eve party. Mount Royal University justice studies professor Doug King describes this case as 'really, really rare,' providing a stat that around one in 10 females are accused of sexual assault. 'The fact that the victims are male and they're under the age of 16 makes it the rarity of the case compared to females under the age of 16. They experience much more sexual assaults,' said King. 'What also makes this rare is that it was reported to the police—more often than not, this stuff happens and the victim never goes forward.'

This week's top construction news in Canada highlights growing concerns over the 25% U.S. tariffs on Canadian steel and aluminum. These tariffs are significantly driving up material costs, especially in Western Canada, resulting in project delays and budget overruns. Industry leaders warn that continued price pressures could hinder long-term infrastructure development and broader economic growth. In response, construction stakeholders are urging the federal government to pursue relief measures and seek alternative trade partnerships to minimize the impact. This situation underscores the sector's vulnerability to international trade dynamics and reinforces the need for proactive, strategic planning to protect the industry's resilience.
