A Minto man awaiting trial on a 2022 allegation of sexual assault was released from custody on Crown consent Monday, as court heard he’d been granted statutory release from an unrelated prison sentence.

Codie Nicholas McNeill, 24, formerly of Northside Drive in Minto, appeared in Fredericton provincial court in person and in custody, scheduled to go through a bail hearing.

He’s accused of an indictable sexual assault, alleged to have occurred in Minto between Sept. 28 and 29, 2022.

The complainant can’t be named because there’s a court-ordered publication ban in effect protecting that individual’s identity.
