A man facing charges that include sexual assault and distribution of child pornography had his case adjourned in Lloydminster provincial court Thursday.

Joseph Sproull, 40, of Marshall, who is in custody, was originally scheduled for a bail hearing via CCTV.

Sproull is charged with one count of possession of child pornography, one count of distribution of child pornography, three counts of sexual assault, three counts of sexual interference, and three counts of making available child pornography.

His appearance in court ended up being waived, and the case was instead adjourned to Monday, Sept. 27 instead.

According to the RCMP report, police executed a search warrant on July 14, 2021 at a residence on First Ave. E. in Marshall, Sask., where a home-based daycare was operating. As a result of an ongoing investigation, Sproull was arrested and charged. Police said Sproull was residing in the house where the home-based daycare was operating.
