Lethbridge Teens Avoid Trial in High School Football Sexual Assault Case

Three teens receive peace bonds while charges against the fourth are withdrawn due to case challenges, according to Crown prosecutors.

Four Lethbridge high school football players accused of sexually assaulting a teammate will not face trial.
Three of the accused teens were given peace bonds, and charges against the fourth were withdrawn.
The incident involved allegations of sexual assault with a weapon, forcible confinement, and assault with a weapon.
One teen completed a diversion program involving extrajudicial sanctions, leading to the withdrawal of charges.
The Lethbridge School Division suspended and later cancelled the football program for the remainder of the season following the charges.
