QLD:Man charged with roadside rape

A man has been charged with the roadside sexual assault of a woman whose car had broken
down near Toowoomba, west of Brisbane, a year ago.

Police say the 37-year-old man from Sippy Downs, on the Sunshine Coast, offered assistance
to the woman when her car broke down around midnight at Vale View on August 7, last year.

He allegedly threatened the 49-year-old with a knife, punched her in the face and sexually
assaulted her before throwing her out of his van and driving off.

He will appear in Toowoomba Magistrates Court on August 30.
