The 25-year-old, a member of the O'Chiese First Nation, was rescued after 12 days near a wooded area in west-central Alberta on July 26.

She survived by eating berries and river water.
Investigators say the victim was riding in a truck with four other people on July 14 when the vehicle broke down. Three people went for help, and  the woman and Gladue were left alone.

Taking the advantage of the situation he allegedly struck her in the face and tried to sexually assault her before she ran away into the surrounding woods.

She was reported missing a few days later and the Police officials gave up the search on July 19.

On Friday, the woman was spotted by a passersby on a dirt road. She has been hospitalized with a broken jaw and infected cuts, but is now recovering.

Kevin Roy Gladue, 36, has been charged with sexual assault.
