A 39-year-old man is facing six counts each of sexual assault and sexual interference after six girls reported they were inappropriately touched at the water park. Quinn Ohler reports.
Police were called to the waterpark at around 10:30 p.m. Saturday.
Officers allege a man followed and inappropriately touched six teenage girls while they were swimming at the waterpark.
“It’s fairly shocking,” EPS spokesperson Scott Pattison said. “It’s involved and traumatized six individuals and their families.”
Pattison said all six girls were under the age of 16.
“The girls were very courageous in coming forward and talking to the lifeguard, that’s not always the case,” Pattison said.

“Child abuse is probably one of the most under-reported crimes in the community,” said Lauren Andrews, with the Zebra Child Protection Centre. “So it’s really up to us as the community, as a whole, to be the eyes and ears of the city of Edmonton to make sure that these children and these survivors of child abuse are getting the support that they need.”
Soleiman Hajj Soleiman, a Syrian(?) refugee and father of six, has since been charged with six counts of sexual assault and six counts of sexual interference."
