Four men have been charged with sexual assault and forcible confinement in connection to an assault of a woman near Riding Mountain National Park in May.

On May 25th, a woman reported being sexually assaulted in a home in the RM of Harrison Park by five men.

RCMP officers arrested all five suspects within 24 hours of the initial report.

At the time of their arrest, they weren’t formally charged but were ordered to appear in Minnedosa provincial court on August 27th.

Four of the five men have been since formally charged.

A 23- year-old and a 25-year-old man, both from Wawanesa, have been charged with sexual assault and forcible confinement. The same charges have been laid against a 23-year-old man from Winnipeg and a 28-year-old man from Boissevain.

The fifth suspect, also from Boissevain, hasn’t been formally charged.

RCMP say the investigation is still ongoing to determine if charges will be laid against the fifth suspect.

The four men who have been charged will appear in Minnedosa provincial court next week.
