A man has been charged with sexually assaulting a woman early Sunday in a Lake View neighborhood apartment on the North Side.

Alexander Carter, 46, was charged with aggravated criminal sexual assault and aggravated robbery indicating he was armed with a firearm, both felonies, according to a statement from Chicago Police.
