A Burnaby man faces several charges after a girl alleges he befriended her online and then sexually assaulted her.
Burnaby RCMP say the girl made the allegation early last month.
The BC Prosecution Service has now approved five charges ranging from sexual assault with a weapon to sexual interference, luring and two weapons offences.
The unnamed man remains in custody awaiting a future court date.
