Incredibly troubling details were revealed in Red Deer provincial court on Wednesday during sentencing submissions for a man charged child porn and sexual assault offences.
Stuart Hunt, 55, of Red Deer has pleaded guilty to making, accessing and distributing child pornography as well as sexual interference, invitation to sexual touching and sexual assault.
According to the agreed statement of facts for the case, it was early 2017 when three different social media platforms reported illegal uploads of child pornography to the Cyber Tipline at the United States National Centre for Missing and Exploited Children. The internet protocol (IP) address for the uploads was tracked to Hunt’s residence in Red Deer and reported to the Alberta Law Enforcement Response Team (ALERT) Internet Child Exploitation (ICE) team for further investigation.
