36-year-old Holt man to face court charged with sexual assault

A 36-year-old Holt man will face the ACT Magistrates Court today, Monday 13 March, after an ACT Policing investigation into an alleged sexual assault.

In February 2023, a woman made allegations that the man engaged in sexual intercourse without her consent while she was at a reduced level of consciousness.

On Saturday 11 March, the man was arrested for unrelated matters, and was interviewed regarding the allegations yesterday, Sunday 12 March, and subsequently charged.

He will face the ACT Magistrates Court today charged with reckless sexual intercourse without consent and breach of good behaviour obligations.

Police are urging any victims of sexual assault to report these criminal activities.

If you or someone you know has been affected by sexual violence, you can report to police by attending a police station or calling 131444.

You can also submit an online report for historical sexual assault for incidents that occurred more than six months ago.
