Sundre woman found guilty of sexual assault and sexual interference
Alexa Suitor, 35, of Sundre, Alberta, has been convicted of sexual assault and sexual interference following a trial related to an incident at a New Year’s Eve party. The jury reached a verdict on Saturday afternoon after deliberating for 24 hours.
Suitor did not visibly react to the announcement. The trial involved closing arguments presented by Crown prosecutors James Molloy and Laura Somers, and defense lawyer Patrick Fagan.
Justice Douglas Mah is scheduled to hear sentencing arguments at a future date. Fagan has indicated his intention to request a discharge for his client, potentially avoiding jail time.
The case stemmed from a New Year’s Eve party held on December 31, 2023, at a residence in the Sundre area. A group of teenagers and adults were present, with Suitor and several teens primarily socializing in a cabin on the property.
According to testimony, the victim, identified as C.D. under a publication ban, stated he awoke on a cot to Suitor touching him, leading to sexual intercourse. He later received a Snapchat message from Suitor that read, “we took it too far last night.”
Two friends of C.D. also testified; one claimed to have witnessed the pair having sex, while the other confirmed seeing the Snapchat message. Suitor maintained her innocence, testifying that the alleged sexual contact did not occur.
