Ottawa police have charged a man with drugging and raping a woman after she came forward with allegations a day after the arrest of the same suspect alleged to have beaten his pregnant, live-in girlfriend to near death.

Phillip Wilson, 31, was charged with sexual assault, “administering a noxious thing” and theft under $5,000 after a woman approached police on March 12 to report that she had been drugged and raped in a Sandy Hill apartment near King Edward and Wilbrod avenues. Police said they were not disclosing additional details to protect the woman’s identity.

Police also charged him with resisting a police officer and breaching probation.
