A 53-year-old man from the Cumberland House Cree Nation is facing charges of sexually abusing and exploiting a young girl in the community.
His name cannot be released in order to protect the identity of the victim, who is under the age of 16. The man was originally arrested on charges of possessing child pornography in February, but a further investigation led to the more serious charges which were laid earlier this week.
The man is one of four Saskatchewan men arrested on child porn related charges as a result of investigations by the provincial Internet Child Exploitation unit.
Three Saskatoon men have also been arrested on a variety of child porn charges. All of the arrests have taken place over the last month.
