Police say sexual assault in St. Catharines did not happen

An update from police concerning a reported sexual assault in St. Catharines.

It was in the early morning hours of Saturday, April 5th, that a woman claimed she was attacked by two unknown men, as she walked in the Glendale Avenue and Kerr Street area.

The men fled, and she was not able to give a description.

Police eventually realized the claim could be false, and further investigation revealed that to be the case.
