A MAN has been charged with sexual assault against a young mother more than two years after the incident.

The Darlington woman, a mother of one, was assaulted by a man who followed her home in September 2010.

A 22-year-old man was traced to an address in Stoke-on-Trent and has now been arrested and charged by the serious crime team based at Darlington police.

He will appear at Darlington Magistrates Court on May 28.
