Feniuk was arrested at his home on Jan. 19, 2023, and charged after an investigation by the Alberta Law Enforcement Response Teams (ALERT).

“The arrest stemmed from a RCMP National Child Exploitation Crime Center referral back in June 2022 about an unknown Alberta suspect uploading child sexual abuse materials to a social media platform,” Michael Tucker from ALERT wrote in an email to CTV News Edmonton after Feniuk’s arrest.

Feniuk was also an employee of the Alberta government at the time of his arrest.
