CALGARY- A 41-year-old man from Medicine Hat is facing numerous charges related to child pornography, after an investigation involving authorities in two countries.
Officials say the accused had been engaging in inappropriate e-mail communications with a 12-year-old girl who lives in St. Augustine, Florida. When her parents discovered the exchanges, they contacted the sheriff’s office, which requested help from the Alberta Law Enforcement Response Team (ALERT).
