A 37-year-old man from the RM of Gilbert Plains has been charged with sexual assault in relation to an incident that occurred in the RM of Dauphin earlier this month.

The investigation, which began on September 15, 2009, showed that the man picked up a female in Dauphin and then drove her to the country where the assault occurred.

An arrest warrant was issued after attempts by investigators to locate the man failed. The man turned himself in at the Dauphin RCMP Detachment on September 21, 2009, in the afternoon.

The man is to appear in Dauphin Court on September 22, 2009.

The investigation continues.
