A 37-year-old Edmonton man is facing multiple charges following a complaint of a Prince Albert child that had been lured online and then sexually assaulted.
Ullas Pappu is charged with sexual assault, luring, sexual interference, invitation to sexual touching, exposing genitals to a person under 16, possession of child pornography and showing sexually explicit material to a person under 18.
