Police continue to investigate an extenstive child exploitation case. 
 
David McDowell was arrested on January 12, 2022 and charged with possession of child pornography. The 69-year-old man was previously a volunteer youth coordinator for an Edmonton-based medieval recreation and culture group.

Given the suspect's involvement with youth groups RCMP are concerned about the posibility of child victims throughout Alberta and British Columbia. 

“The sheer volume, and the content of child sexual exploitation materials seized is quite disturbing, even to our most experienced investigators. Our primary concern is identifying potential victims, and providing the supports and resources they need,” said Insp. John Respet, Internet Child Exploitation (ICE).
 
Anyone with information about this investigation is encouraged to call the Edmonton Police Service Complaint Line (780)-423-4567, Crime Stoppers or submit information anonymously at cybertip.ca.
