Winnipeg police lay charges after sexual assault during personal training session

Winnipeg police say they have arrested a man after a sexual assault took place during a personal training session last week.
Police say a woman reported attending a session last Sunday with a man who had been her trainer for a year.
She told police that the trainer allegedly spoke to her in a sexually suggestive manner and sexually assaulted her when the pair were in a private consultation room at the fitness facility.
The victim did not require any medical attention following the incident.
Following the woman’s report, police arrested 26-year-old, Joseph Patrick Luna from Winnipeg on charges of forcible confinement, sexual assault, and overcome resistance by attempting to choke, suffocate or strangle another person.
Police say the man was released on an undertaking as mandated by the criminal code.
