A Birdtail Sioux First Nation man has been charged with sex crimes after police were told he was in a sexual relationship with a teenage girl.
The Manitoba First Nations Police received a complaint about the 27-year-old man on Sept. 18. Investigators determined the man started a relationship with the 14-year-old girl through messages. They eventually had sexual relations, police said.
Police searched the man’s home, seized “numerous electronic devices” and arrested him, the MFNPS said in a news release Tuesday.
The man is charged with three counts each of sexual assault and sexual interference, a single count of luring a child by telephone and seven counts of breach of a prohibition order. He has since been released from custody.
“The accused will not be named to protect the identity of the victim,” the MFNPS said.
