Vancouver Island man charged with child luring and making sexual abuse material: RCMP
LANGFORD, B.C. — Police in British Columbia say a man from Vancouver Island has been arrested and charged with child exploitation offences following a tip from American authorities.
RCMP say in a statement that the B.C. Integrated Child Exploitation Unit received information from U.S. Homeland Security Investigations last September about a suspect who was allegedly exploiting children using a social media application.
The Mounties say they identified a suspect in Langford, B.C., just outside Victoria, who allegedly lured three girls and exploited them by creating child sexual abuse materials that he posted online.
They say officers executed a search warrant in January at a home in Langford, where they arrested a 31-year-old man from the area.
