A man has been arrested after a woman was sexually assaulted near the entrance to the Law Courts building last month.
The 26-year-old man is facing charges of sexual assault and robbery after he was arrested in the 200 block of St. John’s Avenue on Tuesday. He was released from custody on an undertaking.
A 20-year-old woman was walking from St. Mary Avenue and Kennedy Street to the Law Courts building when a stranger began to follow her at about 5:45 a.m. on March 17. He grabbed from behind in front of the building’s entrance.
The suspect touched her lower body while she was on the ground, the Winnipeg Police Service said. The suspect fled after the victim screamed.
The woman was taken to hospital in stable condition and treated for minor injuries. Police wouldn’t comment last month on whether she works at the Law Courts building.
The WPS released a description of the suspect that night.
“We do believe the attack is predatory in nature. There’s always a possibility there may be other victims,” WPS spokesman Const. Claude Chancy said on March 20.
The WPS released an image of a suspect and an updated description on March 22.
