Iqaluit carver to stand
trial for sexual assault
Ruben Komangapik, 26, of
Iqaluit, will go to trial on a charge of sexual assault following a preliminary
hearing on Sept. 26 in Iqaluit.
Komangapik, who worked
on the Nunavut legislative assemblys mace, was serving a conditional sentence
for another sexual assault when the new charge was laid.
The charge alleges that
Komangapik forced himself upon a female complainant on Dec. 7, 2001.
A publication ban prevents
Nunatsiaq News from reporting details of the preliminary hearing.
The matter was adjourned
until Oct. 23 to set a trial date.
