They say the girl — police would not give her age — was taken to a home and sexually assaulted.

She left and reported the incident to police.

The man, from Happy Valley-Goose Bay, has been charged with sexual assault, sexual interference, uttering threats and forcible confinement.

Police would not confirm whether the accused man, who is to appear in local provincial court Aug. 2, is a cab driver.
