A 29-year-old Vancouver Island man is in custody facing various charges, including child luring, following an investigation by RCMP in Alberta.
Callum Tanner Stewart, 29, of Nanaimo, is being charged with child luring, sexual assault and failing to comply with a release order, according to Mounties in a news release.
Airdrie RCMP and the Airdrie General Investigation Section launched the child luring investigation on June 12, after a report of a youth being sexually assaulted. Police discovered the youth had been lured on social media prior to the alleged assault.
RCMP says Stewart is also before the courts in B.C. for possession and distribution of child pornography.
He has since been remanded into custody and will appear at Calgary Provincial Court on June 24.
