Two young girls having a sleepover fought off a naked man who allegedly broke into their California home and sexually assaulted them.

Police praised the two girls from Fresno, 200 miles southeast of
San Francisco, as they revealed a 26-year-old man who was on
probation for stalking, had been arrested and charged over the
incident.

Frenso police chief Matt Basgall said Timothy Picard had
been arrested on Wednesday after investigators interviewed
witnesses and gathered evidence, according the Associated Press.

The officer said of the girls: “I would like to commend these young ladies. They did everything right.”

He added: “The fact that this guy is on probation for doing something similar, it kind of makes your blood boil.”

The newspaper said the man had forced open a window into the room where the two friends were sleeping. He left through the same window after the girls fought him off.

Mr Picard has been charged with committing lewd and lascivious acts with a minor, first-degree burglary and violating probation.

It was not known whether he has a lawyer or has had an opportunity to yet enter a plea.
