Two men have been arrested in connection to separate sexual assault cases involving teenage victims they contacted through social media, Winnipeg police said Friday.

A 24-year-old man was charged after officers received information the suspect sexually assaulted a teen he met online, police said in a release.

The man contacted the teen under the username “MANITOBAW” in October, the release said. Their contact later progressed to several in-person meetings during which the teen was assaulted, police said.

Police arrested the suspect in the 100 block of Sadler Avenue in the St. Vital area on Feb. 1, according to the release. He now faces two counts each of sexual assault, sexual interference and obtaining sexual services from a person under 18 years of age.

The 24-year-old was also charged with one count of luring a person under 16 years of age by means of telecommunication, the release said.

Police also announced Friday charges against a 41-year-old man who inappropriately contacted two teenagers under the username “Moon Beam.”

The two teens went to the man’s residence on Sept. 8 after several weeks of contact through a social media platform, police said in a release. They said the man then gave them drugs and alcohol, and sexually assaulted them.

Just over two weeks later on Sept. 25, one of the survivors received sexually explicit images and videos from the suspect, the release said.

The 41-year-old — from St. François Xavier — was arrested in the 100 block of Paramount Road in northwest Winnipeg on Jan. 30, police said.

He faces two counts of sexual assault and two counts of sexual interference, as well as one charge related to child pornography and another related to distributing sexually explicit material to a person under 16.

Both men were detained in custody, police said.
