RCMP said an investigation started after a youth alleged they were victimized earlier in August.

Ledrew is a Spruce Grove resident. RCMP confirmed he was employed by the city for 15 years, the majority of which he worked as a firefighter. In spring 2017, he became a bylaw officer. He resigned prior to the arrest and charges.

Ledrew is scheduled to making his first court appearance in Stony Plain Provincial Court on Sept. 13.
