"I have seen images of the abuse, and I can tell you they are very troubling. It came as a tremendous relief to our entire team to know that we put an end to this horrible abuse," Sgt. Kerry Shima of ICE told reporters at a news conference on Thursday.
The 36-year old man has been charged with:
His name is not being released to protect the identity of his child.
He has been released from custody and is scheduled to appear in court in Edmonton on March 21.
The man had allegedly been talking online to a Strathcona County woman who was arrested and charged earlier in February with sexual offences allegedly committed against her own toddler.
