The teen charged with sexual assault following an incident at the Castlegar Complex last month has been released from custody pending his next court date on April 20.

The 16-year-old, who allegedly accosted a female in the women’s change room on Feb. 7, was released on an undertaking which allows a young person to stay out of detention, according to Sgt. Laurel Mathew of the Castlegar RCMP.

His conditions require that he: keep the peace and be of good behaviour; remain at his home with his parents 24 hours a day except when in company of one or both parents or another approved adult; have no contact or communication with the victim; respond to the phone or attend the door of his home 24 hours a day upon the demand of a Peace Officer that calls or attends to ensure compliance with his curfew; and refrain from attending the Castlegar Complex or consuming drugs or alcohol.
