Illegal alien charged in sex assault
By SUN MEDIA
WINNIPEG -- Winnipeg police have charged a 21-year-old man, who may be in Canada illegally, with a sexual assault in the Valley Gardens area last month.
Police said a 34-year-old woman received six strange phone calls from a male suspect shortly before he allegedly broke into her home and seriously sexually assaulted her early Jan. 27.
Const. Jason Michalyshen, a police spokesman, said investigators determined the calls were made from a restaurant in Winnipeg. That helped the sex crimes unit to identify and arrest a suspect Sunday, he said.
Michalyshen said officers talked to everyone who has access to the phone and had the woman positively identify a suspect.
Police said the woman doesn't know the man.
Michalyshen said it's possible she was a customer of the restaurant.
Juan Francisco Reyes-Martinez, 21, is charged with sexual assault and break and enter, and remains in custody.
He was or is enrolled in a Winnipeg university and was here on a student visa that has expired, police said.
Citizenship and Immigration Canada is now involved, police said.
