On April 21, 2021 members of the ICE Unit executed a search warrant at a residence in Shaunavon and several electronic devices were seized for further forensic analysis.

Evidence was located on the devices and on July 29, 2021, Steven King, age 57 years, of Shaunavon was arrested.

He has been charged with Possession of Child Pornography.

King was released by a Justice of the Peace in Shaunavon, and will be appearing in Provincial Court in Shaunavon on September 2.
