Three men have been charged in the wake of an alleged sexual assault last week at the Renegades clubhouse in Prince George.
Mounties were called to the residence on the 1500 block of Fir Street on March 24, the same day the victim, an adult female, is alleged to have been attacked.
RCMP spokesman Cpl. Craig Douglass said the three accused are not members of the Renegades biker gang, but are suspected to have periphery ties to organized crime.
Charged are Albert Donald Piche, a 31-year-old police claim is an associate of the Game Tight Soldiers in Prince George; Julian Niskakoski, 19, of Coquitlam; and Adam Andrew Boyd, 21, of Kamloops.
Douglass said Boyd is "linked via police files to Hells Angels members in the Lower Mainland." Police also believe the Renegades are a Hells Angels puppet club. Niskakoski has no direct association with the Hell's Angels, Douglass said.
Each of the men is charged with sexual assault with a weapon, sexual assault, assault, forcible confinement and administering a noxious substance.
Piche has been remanded in custody until April 6. Niskakoski and Boyd were scheduled to appear in court today.
Police are releasing few details about the victim in order to protect her identity.
