Police in Encamp arrested a 27-year-old man on Wednesday morning for allegedly following a woman in the early hours and sexually assaulting her at her building's entrance.
The attack took place several days earlier as the woman walked along a public street. An unfamiliar man trailed her to her doorway, reached between her legs to touch her buttocks and genitals. She turned, began filming him with her phone to scare him off, and he fled.
The victim contacted police immediately, sharing her recording. Officers conducted an initial search but could not locate him that night. The following day, she filed a formal complaint against an unknown assailant. Investigators matched her footage with nearby surveillance videos to identify the suspect.
That Wednesday, personnel from the police force's persons unit went to Encamp and detained the man on charges of a crime against sexual liberty. He appeared before a judge hours later, received a conditional sentence via the fast-track process, and was released. The case is now with judicial authorities.
