Trial dates have now been set for a man accused of abducting and sexually assaulting a central Alberta youth.

Dean Humphrey, 34, a resident of Olds, AB, is scheduled for trial in Calgary Court of Justice from Oct. 1-4, 2024.

It was on April 21, 2023, when Olds RCMP say they received a request to assist Edmonton Police Service in locating a missing 13-year-old female.

Olds RCMP officers attended a possible location for the youth and say the door was opened partially by an unknown male. They say the male confirmed that the youth was in the residence but refused police entry to ensure she was alright.

Mounties state in fearing for the youth’s safety, they detained the male and entered the residence, locating the youth hiding under a stairway.
