EDMONTON — An Edmonton school custodian has been charged with child sexual exploitation offences following an investigation by Alberta Law Enforcement Response Teams’ Internet Child Exploitation unit.
ALERT said 47-year-old Crispolo Comillas was arrested at his Edmonton home on June 18 with assistance from the Edmonton Police Service.
At the time of his arrest, Comillas was employed as a custodian at Louis St. Laurent Catholic Junior/Senior High School.
Investigators say the case stems from an online investigation and is not related to any alleged offences at the school. However, ALERT said Comillas’ position placed him in direct contact with youth and is encouraging anyone with information relevant to the investigation to contact police or Crime Stoppers.
The investigation began after the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children referred information about an unknown Alberta user allegedly sharing child sexual exploitation material online.
Comillas has been charged with one count of accessing child sexual exploitation material and one count of possessing child sexual exploitation material.
ALERT said the investigation remains ongoing as forensic specialists continue examining computers and electronic devices seized during the arrest.
Comillas has been released from custody under court-imposed conditions and is scheduled to appear in court on July 6.
The charges have not been tested in court.
