A Thompson man was sentenced to seven years in custody on Thursday after pleading guilty to a 10 year old sexual assault case.

Tyson Gabriel McKay was arrested in February 2015 in connection with a violent sexual assault case from 2005. The victim had been discovered badly injured in a wooded area in the city in August of that year.

The 29 year old was identified through DNA evidence and charged with Aggravated Sexual Assault.
