A north Fargo woman was sexually assaulted by a stranger in her apartment Thursday night, police said on Friday.
A 49-year-old Fargo man was arrested Friday morning on suspicion of gross sexual imposition in connection with the suspected assault, Sgt. Mark Lykken said.
A woman living in an apartment in the 2500 block of Broadway told police a stranger entered her home about 8:30 p.m. Thursday and sexually assaulted her, Sgt. Mark Lykken said.
Police arrested Todd William Naatus at 11:55 a.m. in connection with the incident but wouldn’t release any further details about the assault on Friday, Lykken said.
According to police dispatch logs, the woman reported the allegation to officers at 11:05 p.m.
Naatus is being held in the Cass County Jail, awaiting possible charges of gross sexual imposition. No charges were filed in Cass County District Court on Friday, according to court records.
Police say sexual assaults by strangers are relatively rare because the majority of sexual assailants target people they know.
Gross sexual imposition is a North Dakota criminal charge for forcible rape or sex acts with victims. Charged as a Class A felony, it carries a prison term of up to 20 years upon conviction.
