Police have charged a man in connection with an alleged sexual assault Friday in the southwest Calgary community of Parkhill.

Officers were called to a home in the 200 block of 42 Avenue S.W. shortly after 5:30 a.m., after two women contacted police, reporting they had been held against their will.

Police said the two women arrived at the home in the early morning hours on Friday to “meet an acquaintance.” They said during that time one of the occupants of the home sexually assaulted one of the women.
