A 49-year-old man who police say broke into teenage girl's home in northern Manitoba has been charged with sexual assault and forcible confinement.
Thompson RCMP went to a home on Ashberry Place on Tuesday around 1:15 a.m. to investigate a report of an assault.
Officers were told a teen girl had fled to a neighbour's house and a man she said sexually assaulted her was still at her home, RCMP said in a news release Thursday.

The girl, who was alone at home when the man broke in, escaped without physical injuries, police said.
The man has been charged with sexual assault, sexual interference, forcible confinement, invitation to sexual touching and breaking and entering.
