More than two years after Alberta’s police watchdog began investigating, charges have been laid against an Edmonton officer for an incident that occurred while on duty.
The Alberta Serious Incident Response Team (ASIRT) said it was directed on Sept. 8, 2023, to investigate allegations of sexual assault by an Edmonton Police Service (EPS) officer.
ASIRT said the evidence gathered led investigators to believe an offence had been committed.

The case was sent to the Alberta Crown Prosecution Service (ACPS) to determine whether the evidence met the standard for prosecution.
The ACPS said it did, so ASIRT acting executive director Matthew Block determined the officer should be charged.
On Nov. 5, Const. Renzo Geronimo was charged with sexual assault, unlawful confinement, being unlawfully in a dwelling house, and breach of trust.
