He was charged with making child pornography, possessing child pornography, accessing child pornography and voyeurism. He was then arrested a second time on Jan. 18 by Sylvan Lake RCMP after allegedly breaching his release conditions relating to internet access.

In March, several new charges were laid against the man, including sexual assault, sexual interference, invitation to sexual touching, voyeurism, possessing, accessing, distributing, making child pornography and breach of recognizance.

ICE identified at least eight victims who were allegedly sexually assaulted by the suspect, with additional victims identified through forensic analysis of the computers and electronics seized.

ALERT officials claim more than half a million images and videos of child sexual exploitation and voyeurism were discovered during the investigation.

Sylvan Lake RCMP, Fox Creek RCMP, the Central Alberta Child Advocacy Centre in Red Deer and Caribou Child and Youth Centre in Grande Prairie are all said to have provided extensive assistance in the case.

Anyone with information regarding the investigation or any other cases related to child sexual exploitation, are encouraged to contact police or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 (TIPS).
