Episode Details

Winnipeg city councillor Russ Wyatt is facing fresh legal trouble after being charged with sexual assault and administering a dangerous substance following an alleged incident in October 2023. The case, triggered by a survivor’s testimony in April, involves drug use and assault during a meeting in the city’s southwest. Wyatt, 56, was arrested Monday on these charges and released on an undertaking. This isn’t his first brush with the law — he was arrested earlier this year for possessing psilocybin and separately for allegedly drugging and assaulting another man in December 2025. All charges remain unproven, but Wyatt has stepped away from council duties as the situation unfolds.
