A Medicine Hat man has been charged with sexual assault following an investigation into alleged incidents reported at a local assisted living facility.

In September of 2023, the Medicine Hat Police Service (MHPS) received two separate reports of sexual assaults that had occurred to residents of the Masterpiece Southland Meadows retirement / assisted living facility.

The MHPS Criminal Investigation Section investigated the reports and had the full cooperation of the administration of this facility. During the investigation, two additional incidents of sexual assault were identified, both involving the same accused. At the time of the incidents the accused was employed at the facility.

Resulting from this investigation, Asim Omerovic, 64-years-old, of Medicine Hat, AB has been charged with the following;

• Sexual Assault x 4
• Unlawfully in a dwelling unit.

Omerovic has since been released from custody and will appear in Medicine Hat Provincial Court on January 10, 2024.

The investigation is ongoing and the MHPS requests that if any member of the public has any further details or additional complaints to report, please call 1-403-529-8481.
