Alberta RCMP and ALERT execute search warrant at Stettler residence and lay child pornography charges

A Stettler man is facing child pornography charges after police searched a local residence and seized electronics allegedly containing child sexual abuse materials.

In Oct. 2023, ALERT’s Internet Child Exploitation (ICE) unit began an investigation into an individual in possession of child sexual abuse materials.

On Feb. 21, 2024, members of the Stettler RCMP Detachment, ALERT (Alberta Law Enforcement Response Team) and ICE, executed a search warrant at a residence in Stettler.

During the search, police located and seized electronics and other storage devices that police say have provided evidence to support charges for transmitting, accessing and possession of child pornography as well as unauthorized possession of firearms and breach of a prohibition order.
