RCMP say three junior A players were identified as complainants after an investigation that began in 2024 and led to charges of luring and sexual exploitation.
- Former junior hockey executive Tyler King, 39, was arrested Friday at the Lansdowne, Ont. border crossing and faces charges including luring a person under 18, sexual exploitation, and making child pornography.
- The RCMP began investigating in June 2024 after an Okotoks Oilers Hockey Association employee reported a former staff member was soliciting intimate images from players; King worked with teams across Alberta, British Columbia, and Saskatchewan.
- Cpl. Daniel Campbell of the Southern Alberta District General Investigation Section stated the three victims were junior A hockey players under 18 from Alberta and Saskatchewan, identified following an extensive investigation.
- Following a judicial interim release hearing, King was remanded in custody and will return to Alberta to face the charges; he was employed at a State University campus in New York at the time of arrest.
- Police stated the number of potential victims remains unclear and urged anyone with information to come forward; Alberta RCMP are unsure whether King is currently under investigation in the United States.
