Winnipeg police have charged a 33-year-old man in a sexual assault case from earlier this month.

WPS says on March 8, they received a report of a 16-year-old boy that had been sexually assaulted in the Inkster Gardens area.

The teenager had reportedly left a bus stop near Old Commonwealth Path and Doctor Jose Rizal Way when he says he was approached by an unknown man.

The man then started an inappropriate conversation and repeatedly fondled him before leaving.

The suspect was charged with sexual assault and four counts of failing to comply with conditions of a release order.
