Police finish review of high number of 'unfounded' P.E.I. sex assault cases

Reviews by P.E.I.'s two city police departments have reached different conclusions about how they track the outcomes of sexual assault investigations.

Charlottetown and Summerside completed the reviews, along with the Kensington force and the RCMP, this spring after a report in The Globe and Mail found 19 per cent of sex assault cases in Canada between 2010 and 2014 were deemed unfounded. P.E.I.'s rate, which only included data provided by the RCMP and Summerside police, was even higher — 27 per cent.
