The North Battleford General Investigation Section (GIS) has charged a man with voyeurism after a photo was found during an unrelated, previous investigation.
North Battleford RCMP received a complaint on July 7, 2020, that two females, one adult and one youth, were shown unsolicited and inappropriate material on a mobile device. As a result of that investigation, Edward Ilnicki of Battleford, Sask., was charged with one count of committing an indecent act and making sexually explicit material available to a child. Those charges were laid in 2020 and are currently before the courts.
While searching a device in relation to the above incident, officers found an image of an adult female that appeared to be taken without her knowledge or consent. Battlefords GIS then began investigating the photo and determined that it was taken at a private residence. A search warrant was executed there and evidence was gathered to support a voyeurism charge.
As a result of investigation, the 54 year-old Ilnicki was arrested on July 20 of this year and charged with one count of voyeurism. His next court appearance will be in North Battleford on Aug. 24.
