New charges laid on alleged sex offender

LEDUC -- 49-year-old Campbell Fergusson is now facing over 100 charges relating to child pornography and luring. 

This comes as the ALERT Internet Child Exploitation (ICE) unit has now laid an additional 86 charges against the Leduc resident, who was originally arrested for luring and making child sexual abuse material earlier this year. 

At the time of his arrest in June, ICE had identified six victims linked to Fergusson and believed there to be more. Since that time, thanks to information provided by the public and evidence collected during a forensic examination, the unit was able to identify an additional 23 victims. Most are young teen girls who live in the Leduc area.

"I cannot begin to thank these young girls for their bravery in coming forward," said Staff Sgt. Alison Church. "Their courage has made a significant difference in this investigation and their information is what has helped keep him detained."

Fergusson is now facing a total of 113 charges and is alleged to have targeted teenage girls using social media apps such as Snapchat. Sgt. Church believes there are still more victims who have yet to come forward. 

"Our investigation still is not over. We believe there are more young girls who were involved with Mr. Fergusson, and we want to encourage them to come forward," said Sgt. Church. "Supports through partners like Zebra Child and Youth Advocacy Centre are available for anyone who does come forward."
