Yes
A Lethbridge man caught last year in a province-wide child pornography sting is set to be sentenced when he returns to court next month. Sean William Giles, who was charged with possession of child pornography, accessing child pornography and distributing child pornography, pleaded guilty in April to possession of child pornography. He is scheduled to be sentenced on that single charge June 15, when the Crown and defence are expected to present the court with an agreed statement of facts. Giles was originally scheduled to have a sentencing hearing this week in Lethbridge provincial court before it was adjourned because of recent COVID restrictions. Giles was one of 26 men who were charged last year with a total of 63 offences relating to online child sexual exploitation.

Those efforts were highlighted in his presentation at the St. Walburg Catholic Hall, hosted by the North West Mutual Aid Organization, an organization involved with disaster planning and preparations for the area. Hancock’s goal in the presentation was to share ideas on how to pre-plan before a major disaster. “You never expect for something that large to occur, but there are things you can do to prepare for a disaster like that.” A good crowd of 50 people was on hand to hear what Hancock had to say about the Fort McMurray effort, which was the largest evacuation in Canadian history. Hancock had previously presented to Lloydminster on the initial response and evacuation, but this was a more in-depth presentation about all the emergency response efforts expended.
