SURREY (NEWS 1130) – After a long investigation, one man has been arrested and charged following a sexual assault dating back five years.
RCMP say late in the evening on June 2nd, 2012, a woman was attacked by a man on 68th Avenue. Investigators say the man, who wasn’t known to the victim, both physically and sexually assaulted the victim and apparently threatened to kill her.
Timothy James Wyslouzil, 46, has been charged with five offences including sexual assault using a weapon, choking and/or suffocating while committing sexual assault, unlawful confinement and uttering threats.
“All complaints of sexual assault are treated very seriously and the victim’s welfare is paramount in investigations like this,” says RCMP Corporal Scotty Schumann. “The diligence of our officers in their thorough approach to this investigation resulted in a significant arrest that will hopefully improve the victim’s peace of mind and the community’s safety.”
The suspect remains in custody.
