Man charged with sexually assaulting children at home daycare in Winnipeg
Police say man was not an employee of the daycare but had access to the residence
A man has been arrested and charged with sexually assaulting children at an unlicensed home daycare in Winnipeg, police say.
The man was charged on Sept. 13, 2024, with three counts of sexual assault and two counts of sexual interference involving two children, Winnipeg police spokesperson Const. Dani McKinnon told CBC News in an emailed statement.
She said the man was an adult when he was arrested, but police aren't naming him, because he was under 18 when some of the alleged offences took place.
McKinnon did not say how old the children were or where in the city the alleged offences took place, except that it was in the south of the city.
The man wasn't employed at the daycare but had access to the home where the daycare was located, she said.
Police and partner agencies have spoken to all the families associated with the daycare, and no one else has come forward with reports, McKinnon said.
She says the accused has been released from custody with conditions that prohibit him from accessing children under 16.
