Ajay Jetha, who lives in the Keyham area of Leicester, has been charged with numerous offences under the Sexual Offences Act 2003. He will remain in police custody before appearing at Leicester Magistrates court on Monday.
Jetha was arrested shortly after 8pm on Friday night.
The charges relate to an incident which happened between 3.30pm and 4pm on Tuesday (14 October) on land near to a footbridge off Knighton Lane East.
