A Winnipeg man is facing charges after a youth reported he was sexually assaulted by a juvenile counselor while incarcerated.

Winnipeg police say the young man reported the sexual assault in November 2023.

Investigators say the young man was incarcerated in a custody facility in Manitoba between 2022 and 2023.

While in custody, police say the young man formed a relationship with a juvenile counselor. During that time, he gave her extra canteen items and sexually assaulted her in return.

A 51-year-old Winnipeg man was charged Tuesday with sexual assault, sexual exploitation and obtaining sexual favors from a person under 18.

He was released with conditions prohibiting access to anyone under the age of 18, according to the provisions of the Criminal Code.

None of the allegations have been tested in court.
