Shubie Park sexual assault suspect charged

A Dartmouth man has been arrested in Sunday evening’s disturbing sexual assault in Shubie Park.

19-year-old Cody Charles Lemoine of Dartmouth turned himself in to police last evening. Investigators suspect it was the result of the on-going public pressure in the case.

Lemoine is charged with sexual assault, uttering threats and forcible confinement.

Police Constable Brian Palmeter says they also want to point out the attack Sunday night actually happened earlier than first reported.

“As the investigation progressed,” says Palmeter, “we were able to narrow the time line to be closer to 8 pm, not the 9 o’clock that we originally thought. That’s not a huge issue for our investigation, but it’s just something we wanted to clarify to the public.”

Police say the suspect in the case is known to them but couldn’t go into any detail.
