A man from Nisichawayasihk Cree Nation is in custody facing charges of aggravated assault and forcible confinement after police say a woman from Thompson, Man., was held against her will and assaulted at a camp site.
RCMP officers were called to a Thompson Drive convenience store in the northern Manitoba city Wednesday, where they found the victim, 33, who told police she’d been held in a forested area near UCN Drive and Riverside Drive and assaulted repeatedly.
Police searched the area and arrested the 28-year-old suspect at the camp site.
In addition to the assault and confinement charges, he also faces two counts of failing to comply with a release order.
Thompson RCMP continue to investigate.
