Aug. 4 update: Coulombe is facing five more charges after officers identified two new victims.

Police in Edmonton have charged a former Langley, B.C. resident in connection with a child exploitation investigation involving two teenage boys.

Justin Georges Stephen Coulombe, 33, is facing a total of eight charges, including two counts of luring to commit the making of child pornography, sexual assault and possession of child pornography.

Police said Coulombe posed as a member of the Catholic clergy, but has no affiliation with the group.

“He has never been ordained as a priest in the Catholic Archdiocese of Edmonton or any archdiocese in Canada or the U.S… Very careful records are kept of all those things,” said Lorraine Turchansky a spokesperson for the Catholic Archdiocese of Edmonton, adding that “it’s extremely frustrating” that someone tarnishing the archdiocese’s reputation.

Coulombe moved from Langley to Edmonton at the beginning of 2017.

“We recognize that there may be other victims as the suspect had recently moved from the Langley, B.C. area back to Edmonton at the beginning of the year,” said ICE Det. Brian Cross.

Members of Edmonton’s Internet Child Exploitation (ICE) unit arrested the man on Thursday, while executing a search warrant in the city’s north end.

In a statement issued Tuesday, police said they seized multiple electronic devices from the home. Preliminary forensic work revealed the devices contained child pornography, investigators said.

“The investigation began after the mother of one of the alleged victims came forward to police with information about sexually graphic messages that had been exchanged online for several months,” the statement said.

ICE investigators allege the relationship with this victim later became sexual, but the alleged offences against the second known victim were only committed online.

Coulombe was released from custody on a several conditions imposed by the court.

He is set to appear in court on August 21.

Anyone with information is asked to contact their local police department or Crime Stoppers anonymously at 1-800-222-8477.

“ICE investigators are looking to speak anyone who as information in either province or anywhere else, who may be able to shed more light on this situation,” Cross said.
