The province confirmed a person was charged with one count of indecent assault on a female related to the investigation into the former Fort Alexander Residential School.
A charge has been laid following a decade-long investigation into allegations of abuse at a residential school in Manitoba.
The province confirmed Thursday a person was charged with one count of indecent assault on a female related to the investigation into the former Fort Alexander Residential School northeast of Winnipeg.
Manitoba RCMP did not provide comment on the charge.
The school was opened in 1905 in the community of Fort Alexander, which later became the Sagkeeng First Nation, and closed in 1970.
Mounties have said that officers with the major crime unit began looking into the residential school in 2010 and a criminal investigation began the following year.
Police have said the investigation involved reviewing archived records of the school, including student and employee lists.
Officers have also interviewed more than 700 people across North America.
Mounties said last year that RCMP were waiting on advice from the province’s Crown prosecutors regarding charges.
