Local Association of Realtors responds to recent sexual assault allegations at home viewings
LETHBRIDGE, AB – Following recent investigations into alleged sexual assaults at home viewings in both Lethbridge and Calgary, the Lethbridge and District Association of Realtors is speaking out.
CEO Cathy Maxwell said that the Association is deeply saddened by the recently reported incidents.
“We just want to wish them (the alleged victims) well as they begin to recover from a truly invasive act. It makes it very difficult and challenging to do your job in this kind of environment, and I know first-hand, as I was a previous realtor, what that feels like and how it can truly hamper you from doing your job,” Maxwell told Lethbridge News Now on Monday.
According to Calgary Police Service, a female realtor was sexually assaulted while showing a home on McKenzie Drive Southeast in Calgary.
