Jun 9, 2017 | 9:27 AM

EDMONTON- An Alberta father is facing nearly two dozen charges for numerous alleged sexual offences against three of his daughters.

The 41-year-old man, whose name is under a publication ban, was arrested in a small town west of Edmonton in November 2016 after an investigation that started the month before.

Police allege he sexually abused his daughters multiple times over the past six years at a time when they were under the age of 18.

Investigators say one of the alleged victims was procured for sex on multiple occasions and that the father video recorded them.

The suspect will appear in an Evansburg courtroom on June 12 to face a total of 23 charges that include sexual assault, incest and human trafficking plus making, distributing and possessing child pornography.

He also faces 17 firearms-related counts that were laid when his rural property was searched around the time of his arrest.

Roughly 40 restricted handguns and rifles were seized, along with a machine gun.
