In September 2023, Gravelbourg RCMP received a report of sexual offences involving a male youth. 

Investigation determined an adult female, who was a teacher’s assistant at Ecole Gravelbourg School, committed offences involving a teenaged male, who was a student of the school.

After a lengthy investigation, on November 16, 2023, Saskatchewan RCMP arrested and charged Dannica Lowes of Moose Jaw, SK with:

• One count, sexual assault, Section 271, Criminal Code;

• One count, sexual interference, Section 151, Criminal Code;
