Red Deer Mounties are searching for a young man wanted on warrants for the aggravated sexual assault of a female youth the night of July 1.

Darrien Francis Nepoose, 18, is reported to live in Red Deer but RCMP have yet to locate him despite their focused efforts, believing he may have travelled to Calgary.

RCMP began their investigation on July 2 after receiving a report of an aggravated sexual assault on a 14-year-old female who sustained serious but non-life-threatening injuries.

Mounties say the victim was known to the suspect but they will not release more information regarding the incident in order to protect the privacy of the victim.

Nepoose is described as First Nations, 4’11″ and 90 pounds with black hair and brown eyes.

If you see him, you’re asked not to approach him but call Red Deer RCMP at 403-343-5575 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.
