Just before 3:00 a.m. on January 16, 2021, we received a call regarding an Unknown Trouble on Frood Road after a community member was flagged down by a woman who appeared to have been beaten.

As a result of the investigation, it was determined that the woman had been sexually assaulted by a man and when she declined his sexual advances he proceeded to physically assault her causing serious, life altering injuries to her face and minor injuries to her body. The woman was able to identify the man responsible for the attack.

Shortly before 9:00 p.m. on January 18, 2021, Officers located 53 year old, David Goulet on Frood Road and placed him under arrest for Aggravated Sexual Assault. He was held in Police custody overnight in order to attend Bail Court today, Tuesday, January 19, 2021 to answer to the charge.

Based on the investigation, there are concerns that there may be other Survivors. If you have any information related to this incident or this individual, you are asked to contact our Detectives at 705-675-9171.
