SPRUCE GROVE, AB — A 32-year-old father from Spruce Grave has been charged by the Alberta Law Enforcement Response Team with a number of sex offences allegedly committed against his own daughters.

The man, who cannot be named to protect the identity of the victims, was arrested April 6 by the Internet Child Exploitation Unit and the Spruce Grove/Stony Plain RCMP.

The children are both toddler-aged, and were allegedly sexually assaulted on a number of occasions over a period of several months.

The man has been charged with two counts of sexual assault, two counts of sexual exploitation, two counts of invitation to sexual touching.

He’s also facing multiple child pornography charges.

“There are no nude images of his children that we have identified at this point, however forensic examination of the devices is still ongoing, and it’s a long and labour intensive process,” said Detective Brian Cross with the ICE unit, in a video posted on ALERT’s website.

The children are currently being provided support by the Zebra Centre for Child Protection.
