A child has been saved from potential harm after a brief investigation by the Saskatchewan Internet Child Exploitation Unit.
On January 16th, a concerned grandparent made a complaint to the Saskatoon Police Service that their 10 year old grandson was being sexually lured through a popular social media site.
The investigation identified a suspect and a location in Saskatoon where the suspect was temporarily living.
Members of the ICE Unit and the SPS executed a search warrant and arrested a 26 year old man, seizing his mobile device for further forensic analysis and to identify other child victims.
He was remanded into custody and appears in Saskatoon Provincial Court tomorrow (Thurs) morning.
Steven Joseph Lasa of the Loon Lake area is facing charges of possession of child pornography and making child porn, luring a child to facilitate an offence, and obtaining for consideration the sexual services of someone under 18.
