On March 10, 2010 at 9am, The Pas RCMP Detachment received a call that a 6-year-old girl was sexually assaulted.
Investigation revealed that the young girl was walking to school at 8:40am in the morning, when a 17-year-old male, abducted her and took her to a residence where he sexually assaulted her. The young girl was able to escape, tell her mother, who in turn, notified the police.
Based on the excellent information provided by the young victim, RCMP the Pas members were able to identify and apprehend the 17-year-old male the same morning at a residence in The Pas.
Due to her young age, the 6-year-old girl has been transported to Health Sciences Centre in Winnipeg for further medical examination.
The male will be facing charges of kidnapping and sexual assault. He is currently in police custody and will be making a court appearance in the near future.
