City councillor pleads guilty to assault, previous sex assault charge dismissed
The sex assault charge against North Battleford Councillor Ross MacAngus has been dismissed and he has instead entered a guilty plea to assault.
As per discussions heard Wednesday at provincial court in North Battleford, sentencing will be held on Sept. 4 and there will be a joint submission from the lawyers involved.
The scheduling is due to the fact the victim lives out of province and will allow her the opportunity to attend in person.
The plea comes after months of delays and according to Brian Pfefferle, the defence counsel for the North Battleford councillor, the plea is to “another offence arising out of the circumstances.”
