An RCMP spokesperson said the age of the teenager would not be disclosed in order to protect her privacy.

The charge of sexual interference is an age-specific charge that, according to the Criminal Code, involves touching a person under the age of 16 for a sexual purpose. Police have not yet confirmed a charge in the case.
