Winnipeg police say they have arrested a man after a sexual assault took place during a personal training session last week.

The victim did not require any medical attention following the incident.
Following the woman’s report, police arrested 26-year-old, Joseph Patrick Luna from Winnipeg on charges of forcible confinement, sexual assault, and overcome resistance by attempting to choke, suffocate or strangle another person.
