Arrest - Sexual Assault/Child Luring

A 45 year old Saskatoon man is facing numerous charges relating to sexual assault, child pornography and luring.

Earlier this month, the SPS VICE Unit, along with the Integrated Child Exploitation (ICE) Unit, became aware of two females, ages 15 and 16, that were being sexually exploited. The accused is believed to have had lured the victims through communications on an online app, sending them pornographic images. Police believe both victims were sexually assaulted by the accused.

On February 13, 2020, the 45 year old man was arrested without incident from a residence in the 300 block of Meighen Crescent. Investigators conducted a search warrant at that address and seized numerous electronic devices for further investigation.

The 45 year old man is facing a number of charges relating to Sexual Assault of a Child, Luring A Child and Child Pornography.

Further charges are pending as the investigation continues.

Anyone with information on this or any others incidents of similar nature, is asked to contact Saskatoon Police Service at 306-975-8300 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.
