On February 2, 2015, Thompson RCMP, with the assistance of “D” Division Major Crime Services in Thompson, Manitoba, charged a man in connection to a violent sexual assault case from 2005.

In August 2005, Thompson RCMP responded to a report of a badly injured female in a wooded area in the City of Thompson. A 28-year-old female, from Thompson, had been violently beaten and sexually assaulted.

Ten years later, through DNA evidence, RCMP identified a suspect.

RCMP report that Tyson Gabriel McKay, 28, of Thompson, has been charged with aggravated sexual assault. McKay is in custody and appeared in Thompson Provincial Court on February 5, 2015.
