An 18-year-old male has been charged in relation to the posting of a video online containing intimate images without consent.
Following a 17-month investigation, Hinton RCMP charged the suspect on Dec. 18 with possession of child pornography, distribution of child pornography and distribution of intimate images.
As the male was 17 at the time of the alleged offences, he cannot be named due to the provisions of the Youth Criminal Justice Act.
He was released on an appearance notice and is scheduled to appear in Hinton Provincial Youth Court on Feb. 2, 2022.
Police remind the public that it is an offence to distribute intimate images without consent, and they encourage parents to speak with their children regarding their online activities.
