Halifax police say they have charged a Halifax man in connection to a sexual assault that happened at a Tower Road residence earlier this month.
Police say that on Sept. 7, a sexual assault that occurred two days prior was reported. Police say a man sexually assaulted a woman who he knew.
On Sept. 9, a suspect attended police headquarters at the request of investigators.
Police arrested 28-year-old Arshjot Buttar from Halifax in connection to the assault.
Buttar is scheduled to appear in court Dec. 2 to face charges of sexual assault, choking to overcome resistance and assault.
Police say their approach to sexual violence is victim-centered and trauma-informed.
The survivor’s privacy is protected, and police say the survivor’s well-being is “fully considered.”
