Winnipeg police say a 26-year-old man has been charged with voyeurism after allegedly taking photos of a young girl in a changing room.

WPS says officers responded to a multi-use fitness facility in the Grant Park area just before 5 p.m. on Saturday after receiving a report of a sexual assault.

Police say a 10-year-old girl was in a private stall of a universal change room area, when her father noticed a phone camera taking pictures of her from the stall next to her.

The father then informed staff and police were contacted.

Police took a man into custody at the scene without incident.

Colin Gauthier, 26, has been charged with voyeurism and was released on a court order prohibiting contact with anyone under 16 years old.
