The Edmonton Police Service (EPS) has charged a 50-year-old man following several reported incidents of sexual assault in the Greenfield neighbourhood. 

On Tuesday, Oct. 6, 2026, police responded to reports of a male approaching women in the Greenfield area and making sexually explicit comments as well as unwanted physical contact of a sexual nature. Officers located and arrested the male a short time later.

Richard Boyd, 50, has since been charged with sexual assault, indecent act and resisting arrest.

Investigators believe there may be additional complainants and are asking anyone who may have had a similar experience with Boyd, or who may have information or video relevant to the investigation to contact the EPS at 780-423-4567 or #377 from a mobile phone. Anonymous information may also be submitted to Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 or online at www.p3tips.com/250.

Support is available for those affected by sexual violence though local sexual assault support services or through the EPS’ Crime and Trauma Informed Support Services.
