HINTON (660 NEWS) — An 88-year-old man is facing child porn and sexual assault charges stemming from complaints filed in February.
RCMP say Fred Kappers, of Hinton, was first charged on February 11th after a man filed a sexual assault complaint against the senior.
Five days later, Kappers was also charged with accessing child pornography after RCMP executed a search warrant on his home, in which they seized a computer, router, DVDs and CDs.
Kappers is charged with two counts of sexual assault and failing to comply with conditions of recognizance.
He is due in Hinton Provincial Court on April 17th.
