Calgary News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now! ·

2026/08/05

Alberta’s top court just redefined sexual assault, ruling that ordering someone to strip a victim naked—without direct physical contact—is itself a sexual assault. In a case involving Leon Daniel Roan, convicted for directing accomplices to undress his victim during a robbery, the court held that intent and violation of sexual integrity matter more than physical touch. The defense argued Roan didn’t complete the act or that stripping wasn’t inherently sexual—but the appeal judges unanimously

A refugee convicted of trafficking, sexual assault, and fraud is getting a second shot at justice after an Alberta judge ruled his original guilty pleas were flawed — he wasn’t properly warned they’d lead to deportation to Somalia, a country that may refuse to accept him due to his mental illness and could even target him as a spy.

BP just smashed earnings with a $3.9 billion profit—more than double last year—despite global energy chaos fueled by the Iran conflict.
