A Sundre, Alberta woman named Alexa Suitor, aged 35, has been found guilty of sexual assault and sexual interference involving a 15-year-old boy at a New Year's Eve party in December 2023. The verdict was delivered on Saturday afternoon after the jury deliberated for about 24 hours following closing arguments from prosecutors James Molloy and Laura Somers, as well as defence lawyer Patrick Fagan.

Justice Douglas Mah will determine sentencing at a later date, with Fagan indicating he may request a discharge for his client, potentially avoiding jail time.
