Quesnel RCMP are asking for a man who assisted a teenager who was being sexually assaulted to contact them.

“A man interrupted the assault in progress and came to the girl’s aid. The suspect left the area when he was approached by the witness. The witness’s actions interrupted the sexual assault and prevented further victimization during this incident.”

He has been released on several conditions with a first appearance court date set for Feb. 25.
