A 24-year-old Winnipeg man has been charged with sexually assaulting a teen at a home in the city’s East Kildonan area.
Police allege the man contacted the teen through social media in late February, which led to multiple in-person meetings over the course of several days.
The teen was assaulted during those meetings at a home on Oakview Avenue, between Brazier and Roch streets, a Wednesday news release from police said.
