Winnipeg, MB – June 30, 2025 — A Saskatchewan man, Miguel Villa RAMIREZ, 29, has been charged with sexual assault following a disturbing incident in the Windsor Park area during the early morning hours of Saturday, June 28, 2025.
According to the Winnipeg Police Service (WPS), the assault occurred around 12:45 a.m. A woman, who had just exited an establishment, was waiting outside for a friend when RAMIREZ, an unknown man at the time, also left the same venue.
