Police said Derrick Heebner was charged on Tuesday. Police said Heebner is accused of luring a child by means of telecommunication to commit an invitation to sexual touching and possession of child pornography.
He has already made an appearance in court, police said, and was released “on numerous conditions” ahead of another court date in March.
The Internet Child Exploitation Unit consists of officers from the RCMP and the local police services in Saskatoon, Regina and Prince Albert. The unit is mandated to investigate crimes involving the abuse or exploitation of minors online.
