A man who allegedly choked a 15-year-old girl, before sexually assaulting her in a car in Newcastle earlier this month has been charged.
Officers arrested the 21-year-old at Waratah on Thursday evening, when he was charged with three offences, including two counts of aggravated sexual assault of a victim under the age of 16 years.
Detectives were made aware of the incident after the teenager went to Newcastle’s John Hunter Hospital with injuries to her neck, telling staff she’d been sexually assaulted.
It’s understood the man was known to the young woman.
He’s due back in court later today.
