A youth worker who has been employed in Alberta and Saskatchewan has been charged with sex crimes involving a child.
A youth worker who has been employed in Alberta and Saskatchewan has been charged with sex crimes involving a child.
Abraham Woo, 28, was arrested on Feb. 2 in Edmonton by the Alberta Law Enforcement Response Team's (ALERT) Internet Child Exploitation unit and charged with child luring, making child pornography, possession of child pornography, and distributing child pornography.
ALERT says Woo was involved in luring at least one child he knew through his youth work with Pasqua First Nation northeast of Regina, Sask.
Police say the offences took place over apps such as Snapchat and Facebook.
The incidents were initially reported to RCMP in Saskatchewan last month.
After seizing and examining several electronic devices from Woo's home, police said they found photos that appear to have been taken in a locker room setting, leading investigators to believe there may be additional victims.
Police have released a censored version of the photo in hopes of identifying the location or victim.
