Chretien's son charged with sexual assault

A son of Canadian Prime Minister Jean Chretien has been charged with sexually assaulting an 18-year-old girl, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police said.

Michel Charles Chretien, aged 33, was arrested and charged with one count of sexually assault on Friday after a woman complained to police that her daughter had been sexually assaulted at an apartment after a night of heavy drinking, the RCMP said.
