  • Man charged in alleged assault

Police say a man has been charged after an alleged assault last month where the victim reported waking up to a strange man groping her in her home.

Surrey R-C-M-P say they responded to the report at about 3:15 a-m on July 20th and the victim told officers that the suspect ran away when she screamed for help.

A 24-year-old Surrey man, Jatinder Singh, has now been charged with break-and-enter and sexual assault.

Police say he was arrested last week and he's since been released with conditions that include bans on possessing weapons as well as contacting the victim or coming within 50 metres of areas where she lives or works.
