Once at the house, police allege the suspect forcibly gave alcohol to all three girls.
Police said the 15-year-old suspect then sexually assaulted the 11-year-old victim.
“The 16-year-old victim, who had become heavily impaired, was then taken to a separate room and sexually assaulted as well,” the release said.
The 13-year-old girl tried to intervene at some point during the assault, and the suspect pushed her out of the room and “locked or blocked the door,” according to police.
Police said the two girls eventually intervened, and all three victims were able to escape from the house.
A witness who saw the girls called police.
Patrol officers arrived at the scene and identified the suspect, who was arrested at a park in the area of Hall Avenue and Shepherd Avenue.
The 15-year-old boy, who cannot be identified under the Youth Criminal Justice Act, has been charged with two counts of sexual assault, one count of sexual interference, one count of forcible confinement and three counts of assault.
A 37-year-old woman was also arrested and charged with obstructing a peace officer and resisting arrest.
Her identity cannot be released, as doing so could identify the youth accused.
Anyone with information is asked to contact Windsor Police Service or the child abuse and sexual assault unit.
