Preliminary hearing set for Castor man in historic sexual assault case

Court proceedings are moving forward against a central Alberta man accused in a sexual assault investigation dating back years.

A preliminary hearing has been scheduled for Darcy Falkenberg, a Castor, Alberta man charged following what police described as a historic sexual assault investigation.

The case stems from allegations that predate the recent charges, though police have not released detailed information on the timeline of the alleged offences or the number of complainants involved.

The preliminary hearing will determine whether there is enough evidence for the matter to proceed to trial. No further details on the specific charges or the scheduled date beyond the announcement have been made public at this time.
