A Three Hills man facing police charges of sexual assault at the Prairie Bible Institute made his first court appearance August 22.
Thirty-three year old Renie Gall of Three Hills, presently in custody, appeared via closed-circuit television in Drumheller Provincial Court Friday.
Drumheller’s Hugh Sommerville, acting for defense counsel Patrick Penny of Red Deer, waived reading of the charges, and asked for the matter to be scheduled in September, at which time Mr. Gall would appear in person.
Crown prosecutor Ron Pedersen’s request for a publication ban was granted by Judge L.R. Grieve.
The publication ban applies to the identity of the complainants and witnesses in the case.
The case returns to Drumheller provincial court September 3 at 9:00 a.m.
Gall faces charges from allegations of break and enter and sexual assault after the student dormitories of Three Hills’ Prairie Bible Institute were broken into and several students were sexually assaulted in the early morning hours of Sunday, August 17.
