A Blackfalds, Alberta man already accused of travelling to Pennsylvania with intent to have sex with a 16-year-old girl he met online is now facing more charges.
41-year-old Brian Haberman was arrested last October and charged with making explicit material available to a minor as well as possessing, accessing, and making child pornography.
After seizing computers and other electronic devices from Haberman's home, members of ALERT's Internet Child Exploitation unit say they found sexually explicit photos of the teen girl, who they believe was 15 when the online relationship began.
ALERT began investigating in March of last year after they received a report from Cybertip.ca, a website to report online sexual exploitation of children.
Over the past several months, Haberman's lawyer had been in negotiations with the Crown Prosecutor to resolve the case.
However, new charges have now been laid after a second alleged victim came forward and Haberman's case will be back in court August 22.
Blackfalds is a town of about 6500 just north of Red Deer, Alberta
