An Edmonton father is facing sexual assault and child pornography allegedly committed against his daughter who is only seven.

The alleged offenses came to light after a European law enforcement agency contacted the Alberta Law Enforcement Response Team's Internet Child Exploitation unit (ICE) about poronographic material that they believed had originated from an Edmonton address.

After responding to the address in question, a mother and three children were transported to the ZEBRA Child Protection Centre by the ICE team.

A 37-year-old man believed to be the father of the family, was arrested at the residence without incident.

He has been charged with six offences including sexual assault and sexual interference, as well as production, possession, distribution and accessing child pornography.

Investigators have seized computers and hard drives from the residence as part of their investigation.

The man made a court appearance on September 24th, and remains in custody.

His next appearance is scheduled for October 12th.

The man cannot be identified as it would identify the alleged victim, who is a minor.

The mother and her children continue to receive support from the ZEBRA Child Protection Centre.
