A joint investigation between Internet Child Exploitation (ICE) units in Saskatchewan and Alberta has led to the arrest of a Red Deer man police allege was grooming and luring a young girl from Regina.

ALERT’s ICE unit arrested 33-year-old Jeremie Raphael Roy on January 21.

Roy was identified by Saskatchewan ICE as allegedly sharing sexually explicit materials and luring a young girl via a social media application. The alleged offences date back to October 2019.

“Great work by the ICE investigators in Saskatchewan and Alberta to keep kids safe,” said Staff Sergeant Shawn Stubbs, Saskatchewan ICE Coordinator.

“The internet knows no borders, however, ICE units from around the world routinely collaborate to help protect children and hold predators accountable,” said Sergeant Randy Poon, ALERT ICE.
