Sexual Assault

A 23-year-old Yorkton man accused of sexually assaulting an undisclosed number of young girls has been denied bail.

Colin Focht has been charged with 11 counts of sexual assault involving girls under the age of 16.

At a show cause hearing February 17, a provincial court judge decided Focht should be remanded in custody, which prompted the defendant to engage in disruptive behaviour before being led out of the courtroom.

Yorkton municipal RCMP said the provincial Internet Child Exploitation Unit helped with the investigation.

Focht also has outstanding charges of a similar nature dating back to 2014.

The judge ordered a bail verification report and scheduled a new show cause hearing for March 15.
