A youth worker who has worked in Edmonton, Leduc and Saskatchewan is facing charges of child sexual exploitation, with the Alberta Law Enforcement Response Team (ALERT) anticipating additional potential victims will step forward.

A 28-year-old man was arrested Feb. 2 by ALERT’s Internet Child Exploitation (ICE) unit, with help from Edmonton city police, said a Thursday news release from the specialized Alberta law enforcement team.

ICE investigators allege the man was involved in luring of at least one child whom he had known previously through his youth work with Pasqua First Nations in southern Saskatchewan.

The alleged offences took place over the social media applications Snapchat and Facebook.

The case was first reported to Saskatchewan the ICE unit in January 2024, and associated to an investigation by Fort Qu’Appelle, Sask., RCMP.

The ICE unit investigation included a forensic examination of computers and electronic devices seized from the man’s home. ICE investigators now believe there may be victims who have not yet been in contact with police.

Among materials seized, ICE identified photos that appear to have been taken in a locker room facility. Investigators are releasing a censored version of the photos in an effort to identify the location and/or possible child victim.

The man has worked as a youth worker or had access to children through his employment in both Saskatchewan and Alberta, said ALERT.

Investigators said the man has been employed in the following roles at these Alberta and Saskatchewan organizations:

• Youth worker and education assistant at Pasqua First Nations Education, about 60 km northeast of Regina, Sask.;
• Lodge keeper at Edmonton Bent Arrow Society, near 116 Avenue and 85 Street;
• Edmonton group home staff member at Shadow Dragon Youth Group Home, near 95 Avenue 163 Street;
• Youth programs coordinator at Leduc Boys and Girls Club.

The man has also worked youth camps at Edmonton’s Pe Metawe Games near 118 Avenue and 94 Street, said ALERT.

The accused has been known to use the aliases Abraham Calling Bear Woo, Abraham Collingwood, and his social media Snapchat handle, WolfBoy22.

Abraham Woo is charged with child luring, making child pornography, possession of child pornography, and distributing child pornography. He has released from custody and is scheduled to appear in court on Feb. 28.

Anyone with information about the case is asked to contact local police, or Crime Stoppers at 1-888-222-TIPS (8477).
