Councillor Wyatt Faces New Assault Charges | Winnipeg News
Description
Winnipeg councillor Russ Wyatt is now facing fresh charges of sexual assault and administering a noxious substance tied to a 2023 incident where a man met him online, was drugged, and assaulted at a home — adding to his existing pending sex assault charges. Police say Wyatt also allegedly possessed psilocybin mushrooms in connection with the case. The victim, who connected with Wyatt through an online platform, says he was given an illicit drug before the attack occurred. Wyatt has not yet announced if he’ll run in the upcoming October civic election, and his lawyer hasn’t commented on these new allegations. With a prior council tenure and a current legal storm swirling, this case continues to escalate.
