Former police official Curtis David Paradee is scheduled to appear in court on Tuesday on charges of child pornography and communicating with an underage person on the Internet for the purpose of committing an offence.
42-year-old Paradee is accused of posing as a teen boy while commuting with a 15-year-old girl in New York. It’s alleged he tried to persuade the teen to perform sexual acts while he watched on a web cam.
The U.S. Department of Homeland Security alerted Canadian authorities to the activity last year.
The former chair of the Taber Police Commission is expected to enter a plea.
Paradee had been serving as the chairman of the Taber police commission for four months and had been a member of the commission for over five years.
Paradee has been released on bail but is prohibited from using computers unless monitored by police.
