Former B.C. federal candidate Wyatt Scott charged with sexual assault and unlawful confinement

Wyatt Scott, the former independent federal candidate for Mission-Matsqui-Fraser Canyon, has been charged with sexual assault, unlawful confinement, firearm-related charges and trafficking a person under 18, related to two separate incidents in May and July of this year.
