RCMP arrest Castor resident in ‘historic’ sexual assault investigation

Nov 18, 2025 | 10:58 AM

The Coronation RCMP have arrested 48-year-old Darcy Falkenberg following what Mounties call an historic sexual assault investigation.

The RCMP, on Jan. 10, 2024, received a complaint about a series of alleged sexual assaults that began in 2008.

With assistance from Consort RCMP and the RCMP K Division Sexual Assault Review Team, further investigation revealed a second victim, but the RCMP believes more victims have not come forward.

As a result, Falkenberg has been charged with two counts of sexual exploitation, two counts of sexual assault, two counts of sexual interference, assault with a weapon, assault causing bodily harm, break and enter with intent to commit assault, uttering threats, and possession of child pornography.

Police say he was brought before a justice of the peace and released on conditions. His next court appearance is set for Dec. 12, 2025, at the Alberta Court of Justice in Coronation.
