One of two female youths accused of assaulting a Red Deer teen this spring has entered a guilty plea.

On Thursday morning at Red Deer Court of Justice, one of the two 14-year-old girls, who was in attendance, pleaded guilty to assault causing bodily harm.

Her sentencing date has been set for Dec. 10 in Red Deer.

Meanwhile, the co-accused, who did not appear in court, did not enter a plea on Thursday. Her legal counsel indicated that they plan to come to a resolution at her upcoming court date in Red Deer on Sept. 29.

The two girls cannot be named as per Alberta’s Youth Criminal Justice Act.

A 14-year-old girl was the victim of an assault that took place on May 11, 2026, in Lancaster Meadows.

That day, police were notified that a female youth had been assaulted at a field between the Collicutt Centre and Hunting Hills High School.

Just two days later, police arrested two female youths, both residents of Red Deer.

Initially, one was charged with assault causing bodily harm and assault by choking. The second youth was charged with assault causing bodily harm.
