EDMONTON (660 NEWS) — A 52-year-old man from Donnelly, south of Peace River, is facing two counts of child pornography.
Royal “Mac” Olsen who runs a children’s relief care centre out of his home, was arrested by ALERT’s Internet Child Exploitation unit and charged with possession and distribution of child pornography.
He’s believed to have provided temporary or emergency child care for a number of years. None of the children are believed to be victims.
He was arrested on Feb. 8, and a number of computers and electronic devices were seized.
The investigation into Olsen began in July 2018 when the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children alerted ICE to an unknown Alberta man uploading child pornography through a social media application.
Anyone with information about this investigation or any child exploitation offence is asked to contact local police or cybertip.ca.
