FAIRBANKS, Alaska (AP) -- The Fairbanks Daily News-Miner reported Tuesday that Shawn C. Knight of Bee Spring, Kentucky has been charged with first-degree sexual assault.
Alaska State Troopers say the woman told them Knight came into the room where she was sleeping early Thursday morning and held her down.
A criminal complaint says that after the assault Knight sent a text message to the woman with an apology and asking if they could still be friends.
