In September 2026, the Winnipeg Police Service’s Sex Crimes Unit received a report regarding a teen that had been sexually assaulted.

Investigators determined that the teen and an adult male had met at a gathering in a southwest suburb of Winnipeg. The teen later accompanied the suspect to his residence where they were sexually assaulted.

The Winnipeg Police Service was contacted and the Sex Crime Unit assumed control of the investigation.

On October 14, 2026, investigators arrested the suspect without incident.

A 50-year-old man faces charges of Sexual Assault and Assault and was released on an undertaking pending future court proceedings.

The Winnipeg Police Service is committed to providing support to survivors of sexual assault. Resources include WPS Victim Services at 204-986-6350 and the Klinic Sexual Assault Crisis Line at 204-786-8631.
