Lengthy Prison Term For B.C. Man Who Plotted Online To Abuse British Youngsters

The Canadian Press, 18 Aug, 2016 01:47 PM
    LANGLEY, B.C. — A British Columbia man has been sentenced to nearly a decade in prison in the United Kingdom after admitting he'd planned to sexually abuse children.
     
    RCMP in Langley say Glenn Schulz received an eight-year, eight-month sentence after pleading guilty to two charges of arranging a child sex offence and one charge of distributing indecent images.
     
    Schulz was arrested as he arrived at Gatwick Airport, south of London, ending an investigation that began in May.
     
    It was launched after Schulz contacted a British undercover officer who posed as the father of two young girls.
     
    Investigators say Schultz was on a site known for sharing child exploitation material and arranged to meet the undercover officer in order to abuse the fictitious children. 
     
    RCMP Insp. Tyler Svendson, who heads the Mounties' behavioural sciences group, says the force worked with British police and several other B.C. agencies to build a case against Schultz and ensure a conviction.
     
    He says the RCMP's Internet Child Exploitation unit, or ICE, seeks out child predators on various online social media outlets and websites known to be used for child exploitation.
