Man accused of luring, sexually assaulting teens

A 42-year-old Winnipeg man is accused of luring and sexually assaulting four teenage girls.

Police said a man communicated with teenagers online and arranged to meet them and some of their friends on two occasions between November and January.

The teens were picked up and taken to a hotel where they were given drugs and alcohol, and sexually assaulted, police said.

The incidents were reported to investigators in June. A suspect was arrested Tuesday.

Police said Daniel David Main was charged with four counts each of sexual assault and sexual interference, two counts of luring a person under 16 by means of telecommunication, and one count of failing to comply with the condition of a release order.

He was held in custody. Main was charged in a separate case earlier this year.

Anyone with information is asked to call the counter exploitation unit at 204-986-3464 or Crime Stoppers anonymously at 204-786-8477.
