A 43-year-old man faces a sexual assault charge against a youth in Iqaluit.

RCMP announced the arrest Thursday in a news release.

“The investigation began after police received a complaint from a youth who reported being sexually assaulted in Iqaluit, Nunavut, back in early 2024,” the release said.

Emmanuel Chofor was charged Jan. 7. His first court appearance is set for Feb. 13.

Police are continuing their investigation to determine if there may be other victims.

RCMP ask anyone with information that could assist in the investigation to contact investigators at 867-979-0123 or anonymously through Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477).
